Celebrate the Ladybug Girl books by Jackie Davis. (Penguin) Make wings and hats, and if the weather’s good, maybe go to the park! (Moms and dads, be sure to come along to help supervise.)

This unique novel of an American civilian woman’s experiences in Vietnam begins during the fall of Saigon, when photojournalist Helen Adams flees with Linh, the Vietnamese man who loves both her and his country.  “Its characters are unforgettable, as real as the historical events in which they’re enmeshed,” wrote Pulitzer-Prize winning author Richard Russo.
