Librarian on the Roof
By M. G. King

 

 

 

Publisher: Albert Whitman & Company

 

With its cheerful cartoon-like colorful illustrations, Stephen Gilpin helps author M.G. King create a little gem of historical writing for children in Librarian On The Roof!

 

Based on true events, it’s about how a small town Texas librarian lives up on the roof of the 100-year-old library for a week, vowing to remain until the community donates $20,000 to upgrade the children’s section. Obviously, she gets her way, but not before an unexpected storm nearly knocks her off.

 

If you’ve ever been to the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart, Texas you will recognize it immediately in the drawings. And if you haven’t been to the Barbecue Capitol of Texas, then come on down y’all!

When young Sammy Squirrel heard the unmistakable sound of the trap door slamming shut behind him, his world turned upside down. Thrown into the pitch-black darkness of a car’s trunk and taken to the Squirrel Relocation Center (SRC), he has to survive on his own.
He befriends a girl squirrel who shows him around the SRC and teaches him how to use the “airborne highway.” With what she teaches him, Sammy gains the courage he needs to try to find his way back home. But that road home is fraught with challenges.
