Layers and Layers of Wallpaper - Candace Tong-Li - Bog

This enchantingly illustrated book captures the lives of four young children, separated from each other by time but bonded by a sense of self-discovery and adventure. From Colonial America to the modern day, we'll watch George, Sarah, Jeremiah, and Amy confront personal challenges and emerge stronger individuals. When Amy and her family move into an old New England home, she makes a surprising discovery: layers and layers of wallpaper. She begins to imagine the stories behind each layer, and her characters come to life as she scribbles by the lamplight. George is a serious-minded inventor who is always thinking about his next big project. But what happens when this focused scientist is finally pulled into having some fun? Sarah may be a bold storyteller, but can she face her own greatest fear when others need her most? Jeremiah, the hard-working son of a farmer, makes an interesting observation about the farm calves. Will his ingenuity and determination lead him to something that's never been done before? How will their stories inspire Amy to tap into her own strengths when she faces being the new girl at school?
