          I read A New School written by Jeremy Strong. It was published by Literacy Land.
          This is Ravi and his younger sister, Sunita’s story. Ravi had to look after Sunita at school because it’s her first day at school. When playtime, he went to find Sunita to play with her, but his friends were enjoying themselves, so he wanted to play with them. Then he took her across to some little children, but they didn’t play with, and she became alone. What’s more, playtime had finished still she was alone. She didn’t know where her classroom is, but Donut who is the same class with Ravi help Sunita to go her classroom. Ravi felt ashamed of himself when he knew that happening.
          When I read this book, I understood Ravi’s feeling. I have a brother, so I was often said that you have to look after your brother. I thought it is troublesome to look after my brother, and I often didn’t do so. However, if my brother didn’t come to play with me, I missed him, so I understand Ravi’s feeling. Therefore, I recommend this book for people who have younger brothers or sisters.

          I read A Girl Named Helen Keller written by Margo Lundell. It was published by SCHOLASTIC.
          This is story about Helen Keller. She became deaf and blind because she was sick when she was two years old, but she was bright. However, she began to grow wild. After her sister was born, it was more terrible, so her parents asked to help. One day, Anne Sullivan came to her house as a her teacher. Anne taught spell of doll to spell the word with her fingers into Helen’s hand, but she didn’t understand what she was doing. Anne never gave up and continued teaching. Then she suddenly understood spells and its means. After that, Helen learned to read, write even speak.
          I know name Helen Keller, but I don’t know how she is, so I thought reading it. Then I read this book, I know about them. After I read this book, I thought if everyone doesn’t believe me, only one person believes me, I can do anything. I also thought it is important not to give up when I do something. I was encouraged to read this book, so I want to read this book everyone.
