{"product_id":"auntie-luce-s-talking-paintings","title":"Auntie Luce’s Talking Paintings","description":"A Haitian American girl finds connection to generations of family lore in this story of identity, heart and home.\nEvery winter, a young girl flies to Haiti to visit her Auntie Luce, a painter.\nThe moment she steps off the plane, she feels a wall of heat, and familiar sights soon follow ― the boys selling water ice by the pink cathedral, the tap tap buses in the busy streets, the fog and steep winding road to her aunt’s home in the mountains.\nThe girl has always loved Auntie Luce’s paintings ― the houses tucked into the hillside, colorful fishing boats by the water, heroes who fought for and won the country’s independence. Through Haiti’s colors, the girl comes to understand this place her family calls home. And when the moment finally comes to have her own portrait painted for the first time, she begins to see herself in a new way, tracing her own history and identity through her aunt’s brush.\nKey Text Features\nauthor’s note\nglossary\ntranslations\nCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2\nRetell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\n\u0026gt;Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7\nUse illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.5\nDescribe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story and the ending concludes the action.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1773060414\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1773060414.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Daley, Ken|Latour, Francie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
