The Great Gilly Hopkins is a book written by Katherine Peterson, who also wrote Bridge to Terabithia. I have always loved her books, and this one is no exception.

One thing that I forgot to add to the podcast – this book does deal with racial discrimination, and it does have curse words. If you are not sure about either of those for your kids, I would read it before you give it to them

This book started several good conversations between me and Mom about the civil rights movement. Maybe it will help you start a conversation about it with your kids!

I hope you like listening to this podcast episode!
