365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope
March 10th is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Ana's story is speaks directly to women, particularly the rising generation. Ana was born with HIV, an odd thing for a child to wrap their mind around. Jenna Bush Hager (President Bush's daughter) retells Ana's narrative of growing up as an orphan in Latin America, sexual and physical abuse, teenage pregnancy, and the unforeseen hope which emerged as a result. Ana's Story brings home the AIDS pandemic while empowering readers with the courage to live positively regardless of the circumstances.
