This Perfect Picture Book Friday, I Share the Lovely Poetry of Joyce Sidman. leslieleibhardtgoodman.wordpress.com/2021/09/17/thi…

Stella’s fifth-grade class is camping at the same place her brother camped at when he returned home withdrawn and unwilling to speak. Going with her class could mean finding out what changed her brother. Staying home could save her life. THE WITCH OF MEADOW LARK #PitchDis #MG

When colors look different to Jada, she learns she has become colorblind. Now, the art she creates causes classmates to tease her. Although one boy sees her vision change as a superpower, it’s up to Jada to embrace the change and want to paint again. #PitchDis #PB

When spring brings a change to Jada’s vision, classmates don’t understand her colorblindness and say her paintings look wrong. One boy believes Jada has a superpower, but can Jada let go of her sadness and find joy in creating art to express herself? #PitchDis #PB

Three years ago, Stella’s brother returned home withdrawn and unwilling to speak from the annual fifth-grade camping trip. Getting out of the trip could save Stella’s life but going camping could mean finding out what changed her brother. THE WITCH OF MEADOW LARK #PitchDis #MG
