Do you like beards? This man sure did!
Abrams Books sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you). It is being published this month, so check with your local bookstore for a copy.
Ms. Kathryn Brown is the illustrator of this book and she has created wonderful illustrations of a man with a most wondrous beard: It twists, it curls, it flies in the wind!
The most fascinating part of this story to me is that it is non-fiction. There actually was a man who spent a year in jail because he would not shave his beard. It sounds like a silly, made-up story about a stubborn boy who turned into a stubborn man, but it's not so. His stubborness turned him into a folk hero!
Children should be caught up in this tale because of his unusual beard, but they will also be reading history here.
Why not pick a copy and share this tantalizing tale with your little ones?
Happy reading!
