This #BookFace is tiny but mighty!
You’ll have to look closely to find this week’s teeny tiny #BookFaceFriday, “The Borrowers” by Carnegie Medal winner Mary Norton (Clarion Books, 2003). This enchanting children’s classic about a tiny family living underneath the floorboards in an English manor is available as a Book Club Kit from the Nebraska Library Commission, with 8 copies for your reading group to borrow.
You can also find “The Borrowers” as an eBook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries: Kids & Teens, along with the complete collection of The Borrowers Series which consists of 5 books following the Clock family’s adventures.“The magic and charm of the writing convince children and grown-ups, too, that Borrowers really do exist.”
―School Library Journal
