But somehow I hope that my life will have meaning one day.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story begins in 1939 with Rose, who takes a job driving a bookmobile when she moves with her family from rural Texas to the Louisiana bayou. Two decades later, Merle Henry, Rose's son, is more passionate about trapping mink than reading, although there is a place in his heart for Old Yeller. In 1973, Merle Henry's daughter, Annabeth, feels torn between reading fairy tales and a crush on her own real-life knight in shining armor. And in the present day, Annabeth's son, Kyle, finds himself in a bind: he hates reading, but the only summer job he can get is at the library. Touching, lyrical, and always intriguing, this family's story reveals how a love of books creates a powerful bond that spans generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart of Me\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimberly Willis Holt\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the many award-winning novels for young adults and children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Water Seeker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Louisiana Sky\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKeeper of the Night\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhen Zachary Beaver Came to Town\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of a National Book Award for Young People's Literature.
