First Lady Jessica Doyle has initiated an online book discussion club for children and adults. Each month her Web page for the book club, called "Read On Wisconsin," lists the titles for discussion. All books were carefully selected by a Literacy Advisory Board and reflect a commitment to diversity in their content and message. Mrs. Doyle hopes you find them as interesting and appealing as she does.
The titles recommended for January were:
Preschool: "Not A Box" by Antoinette Portis
Primary: "The Deaf Musicians" by Pete Seeger and Paul Dubois Jacobs
Intermediate: "Tents, Tigers, and The Ringling Brothers" by Jerry Apps
Middle School: "If You Come Softly" by Jacqueline Woodson
High School: "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang
