I chose this book because I remember reading about him when I was a child and I thought it would be perfect for this projectFrederick M. Jones was African American/Irish American and as a child he was always very smart with mechanics. By the time he became a teenager he could pretty much rebuild anything that had and engine in it. He was faced with racism through out his life.

This little book is about little African girl that was in search for a lion because she heard her family always talking about one. She went out on her own mission to look for one. She saw every animal she could think of. But couldn't’t even find a lion.

CELEBRATION!By: Jane Resh ThomasAs I was reading this book, it reminded me a lot like my family. This book is about an African American Family that always have little parties from time to time. The book was very interesting because talks about how some family member come to the parties very early while some of them come very late. The book talked about African American food and that really reminded me of my family. This was a great book to read, but do not read it if you are hungry.
