One School One Book is a movement designed to get an entire school community - including parents - involved in the joy of reading. Each week in the family newsletter there will be an audio link that families can use to enjoy the book titled “Dragons in a bag”. Dragons in a Bag dips into the fantasy realm yet remains tethered to the real world. And Jaxon is in the middle balancing the normalcy of his mom’s present-day Brooklyn with Ma’s mysterious land that exists outside of the typical constraints of time and space. Can he remain that bridge between the two? Author Zetta Elliott intentionally wrote this book to add some representation to show children that “magic can happen to anyone, anywhere. So now we have this modern fantasy adventure starring Jaxon, an African American boy from Brooklyn whose normal city life turns upside-down one day when his mother leaves him with a mysterious elderly lady known simply by “Ma.” Here is the book trailer Dragons in a bag.
There will be weekly trivia questions for students and families to answer. We look forward to everyone coming together and loving “ Dragons in A Bag” By Zetta Elliot! If you loved book one “Dragons in a Bag” You will love book two “ The Dragon Thief “
If you signed up to receive a hard copy of the book, you should have received an email to pick it up at the school. School office hours are 8am-4pm.
