For August, we will be reading "The Best Colors" by Barbara Taff.
Not only is Allamanda well known for our passion for reading, we are also one of the most diverse schools in Palm Beach County, with the largest ESE cluster site in a neighborhood school.
The author hooked us as she described her childhood and always feeling like a misfit. She says she wrote the book "with that hunger for inclusion and a celebration of people's differences in mind." Taff continues, "It's more about what we can bring to the table." How like us!
Once you have read the book, please share your thoughts and comments with us.
We look forward to sharing next month's book with you!
