Harriette Robinet and stories for children


One of our boosters over the years is Harriette Robinet, and I thought I would take a few lines to remark that her short novels- stories for young readers and high school students- mostly following experiences of African-American children in various historical settings- are great books to use in the classroom and also as 'books of the month' for libraries in Africa. We've sent a bunch of copies over to the libraries in Ghana, and I've asked to librarians to write back about the experiences of readers with the books. Should be interesting!

Did you ever get feedback from the librarians re: these books?
