This year’s multicultural workshops were a huge success, with 30 children attending to learn about Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Egypt and Romania. Every morning we learned some interesting facts about the chosen country, did some crafts, and played traditional games. We even attempted the Mexican Hat Dance and the Romanian Hora Dance. At the end of each workshop, there was some traditional food to be tasted. Each child also received a “multicultures @ your library” T-shirt, courtesy of Europe Direct.

PARADISE BARN by VICTOR WATSON
It’s September 1940 in the English village of Great Deeping. Despite the shadow of war and ongoing aerial battles overhead, life seems straightforward. Then a violent murder shatters the veneer of calm. Best friends Molly and Abigail along with Adam, a recent evacuee from London, become embroiled in solving the mystery. This coming-of-age story, combining rich historical detail with suspense and adventure, effectively depicts how suspicion and prejudice can challenge the bonds of friendship and community during a time of conflict.

LINCOLN AND HIS BOYS by ROSEMARY WELLS
In the bicentennial year of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, this is a family portrait from the perspective of two of his sons covering a period before and after his election as US president. It is well researched and captures the social history of the period and life in the White House with child’s eye detail. PJ Lynch’s meticulous, realistic images reveal the close, warm relationship Lincoln had with his boys. Any child with an interest in history, America, and particularly its presidents will be fascinated.
