Gloria Houston,Susan Condie Lamb
Reminiscent of the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder, ,My Great-Aunt Arizona, is an inspiring tale rich with history, family, and artistry. Based on a true story, author Gloria Houston's joyous recounting of her great-aunt Arizona's quiet yet meaningful life reminds us of the special place a great teacher can hold in our heartsâ€”even after we've grown up.,Arizona was born in a log cabin her papa built in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She grew into a tall girl who liked to sing, square-dance, andâ€”most of allâ€”read and dream of the faraway places she would visit one day. Arizona never did make it to those places. Instead she became a teacher, helping generations of children in the one-room schoolhouse which she herself had attended.,Supports the Common Core State Standards.
