One Book Westwood
This year's One Book Westwood choice is Polly Horvath's Everything on a Waffle. This 2001 best selling and critically acclaimed children's novel won several awards including a Newbery Honor Award, the Boston Globe Horn Book Honor Award for Fiction, and Child Magazine's Best Book of the Year for Children. The story includes the eccentric characters and the expression of complex ideas in a humorous and ever kind approach that is present and loved in all of Horvath's titles, making it a perfect choice for children and adults. This story presents a strong theme of resilience which seems pretty welcome in our current situation.
This book is a great read for the whole family and includes an interactive element that will give some fun along the way. Copies are available in audio format on Libby and new paperback copies are available by request starting July July 6. Email library@westwood.bccls.org to reserve a copy.
