Our friend Namya had two favorite books to share with us.

Description: "Third grader Judy Moody is in a first day of school bad mood until she gets an assignment to create a collage all about herself and begins creating her masterpiece, the Me collage."

Judy Moody is available at several DC Public Libraries.

Description: "When Junie B. Jones receives a mushy gushy "valentime" on Valentine's Day, she tries to find out who in her kindergarten class is her secret admirer."

Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime is available at the Benning library in the Juvenile Fiction section.

Thanks, Namya!
