One of the library’s preschool storytime moms recommended that I read our next book - “This Book Made Me Think of You” by Libby Page. What a lovely story!!

Cleopatra

It was so interesting to read “Cleopatra” by Saara El-Arifi. This historical fiction novel follows Cleopatra’s life from the age of eighteen, through her death. I loved the author’s beginning line: “You know my name, but you do not know me.” I was hooked from that point on! Cleopatra is the narrator of this story and often speaks to the reader with little asides that show her intelligence and personality....
