Large, over-sized, often full-page spreads without borders Jemmy Button silhouettes and bold splashes of color to draw the reader's to attention the big ideas in the text. However, the overall story perspective is NOT that of the child protagonist, but rather that of a "subjective" other explicating facts, which allows even leads young readers to infer a Disney-like capture, integration into European society, and uneventful return home with few emotional Illustrations give pause to linger on each page. I found it truly hard to believe that his birth parents were not depicted visually quite dehumanizingand that they did not experience stress and loss--what did they think would happen if they didn't sell their child? The text presents evidence that his adoptive family doted on and gave him all manner of things to ensure their care. Not so his birth parents. Maybe no written record exists of their care, but by not presenting the possibility of such, a young child might conclude that they were not "good" parents. This Jemmy Button made stronger when the boy is described as Jemmy Button missing the flora and fauna Jemmy Button his native land Jemmy Button no mention of the people!! This text would need quite a bit of mediation and background information if used with younger children. It could serve as a great text for critical analysis alongside study Jemmy Button colonialism in Social studies Jemmy Button history classes. Dec 29, Vincent Desjardins rated it Jemmy Button it Shelves: Jemmy Buttonchildren-s-and-young-adult. If I could, I would Jemmy Button the illustrations in this book a separate rating of 5 stars. They are truly beautiful. The two page spread with Jemmy Button looking out a ship's Jemmy Button at the ocean teeming with marine life is spectacular. The spare text, Jemmy Button the other hand, left me wanting more. What happened Jemmy Button the real Orundellico aka Jemmy Button had to have been a traumatic event, one I'm Jemmy Button that must have left life-long scars. The real Orundellico was taken from his people as a young boy and Jemmy Button t If I could, I would give the illustrations in this book a separate Jemmy Button of 5 stars. The real Orundellico was taken from his people as a young boy and sent to England to be educated in Christianity and Victorian customs. But other than the author mentioning that the boy missed the boughs of the trees and the night sky on his island home, the Jemmy Button is never told about the difficulties that he must have faced in trying to assimilate into white society. Not to mention the horror of being separated from one's family. The text in this Jemmy Button of events reads like a candy-coated bedtime story. I think this Jemmy Button chapter in the history of British colonialism would have been better served if it had been told for a slightly older audience, an audience that could start to understand some of the sad implications inherent in this sad true life story.

The people who took him back to their land introduced him to so many new things and changed his style and his life in so many ways. One day they wanted Jemmy to go back and to teach his people about everything that he has learned from them and Jemmy Button how much he has changed in order to change his people as well. When he goes back to his land and back to his people, he immediately sheds what he was wearing and goes back to his life on Jemmy Button island completely unchanged from everything that he has seen in the land that is not his own. Using culture to show how ideas and language spread across the globe would be a good point to highlight in relation to Jemmy and his adventure that he had. Another activity Jemmy Button I would do with students would be to highlight geography and how the world trades and interacts with each other by the spread of culture. How people get places and how interconnected we are as a world would be a point that I would want to highlight. This book was a WOW book for me because of the message and the inspiring story that Jemmy takes. The fact that people tried to change him so much and that Jemmy Button almost acted like the people that offered him a new culture but then ultimately never changed Jemmy Button he was resonated with me at my core. The fact that Jemmy Button went back to who he was after being offered and almost changed so much is so inspiring and shows his loyalty to who he was as a Jemmy Button and who he belonged to culturally.

The beautifully illustrated picture book is based on a true event Jemmy Button Jemmy Button. He is given that name as he is taken from his island by aristocratic westerners who believe they can teach a feral person to be sophisticated in a more civilised society. The colours and contrasts are great and a good talking point when reading this book, for example there is page that is all red and gold when he meets the king and queen - lots can be inferred from this. It is simple but effective. Eventually they The beautifully illustrated picture book is based on a true event of Jemmy Button. Eventually they take him back, with Charles Darwin on the ship, and as soon as he gets back he strips off the suit and goes back to the same spot in the trees where he started. Looking at the night sky and stars over the ocean. This can open the dialogue of innate Jemmy Button learnt behaviours, can we really change the way people behave to fit our ideology? Is it actually what they want? Morally, is this okay? Now and then? It is written in 3rd person, but I wonder what Jemmy is thinking the whole time? This can then follow on to learn more about the true story and the conclusions Darwin and the other scientists made. Jemmy Button is about a boy who travels from his country to another country. He finds Jemmy Button adventures and sees many thing while in the other country. However, Jemmy Button is no place that close to his heart as home is. I think this Jemmy Button would be appropriate for 3rd graders. I would love to use this book when talking about culture in a classroom. I believe this could show a personal perspective of a boy who experienced a new culture but ultimately loved his own. Jemmy Button would be a great way to introduce the term culture. Yet again, I have been extremely impressed in the illustrations in this book. The pictures were large and colorful. They allowed the reader to see the visual differenced between the Jemmy Button's culture and the culture he was taken into. I would want to show my students the importance of using the pictures while reading. I would love to read this aloud to my class and have them reflect on the pictures on each page.
