"Willimena Rules" says my twin daughters

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters. I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more. I only wish that there were more of them because I already bought them all. If you're looking for a great chapter book for an African American girl, then author Valerie Wilson Wesley's series of "Willimena Rules" is it. Also try, Gloria Rising and Gloria's Way by Ann Cameron.

We Love Willimena

I was pleasantly surprise to see 3 Willimena books in my local library. We had been in search of chapter books that were geared towards African American girls. I was then disappointed to see that there is a series of 6 soon to be seven and I could not locate them all. None of the Big or small bookstores carried them so I had to happily purchase the series for my daughter and every one of her little girlfriend that has had a birthday party recently. Willimena is your average, well mannered, family oriented 3 grader with the same issue and circumstances that any elementary student may encounter. My daughter, a second grader, absolutely loves the series and wants me to purchase the ones that she has already read. This is a must have for any little girl. Buy the entire series for your child, grandchild, nieces, classroom.....
