Reading at the beach on this slightly overcast and windy day. Nonetheless, it's so f***ing beautiful. 🌬⛱️🌊

Lovis was my favorite character. So calm to all the chaos. From now on, I will aspire to be Lovis.

Loved Ronia's and Birk's friendship. I honestly think living in a cave might be a cool adventure. As long as harpies don't find me. I think Linville Caverns should offer nightly stays.

Matt was all over the place. Good grief. This was an awesome read.

I colored this picture on one of my coloring apps. I wanted to write a haiku about this movie.

Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas
I only watched the movie once but I liked it
There‘s debates online about whether it‘s a Halloween or Christmas movie
I‘ve heard it‘s a Christmas movie but I watched it during the Fall when I saw it the first time
It depends on when you want to watch it, I guess

I would love to see this book used as a mentor text! I think students could enjoy writing through the POV of a random object in their life. For instance, an object in a thrift store like the type writer, or even their own pencil!

shelbsreads In my creative writing class, we did an activity like that. It was really fun and engaging. We all had a lot of fun reading our work to one another, and seeing our personalities and perspectives come out through our work. 1mo
jkmac9717 This sounds like such a fun show-and-tell-like activity! You could do a brief exercise with writing from an object‘s POV as a warm-up, or you could do it multiple times to focus on different story elements (tone, word choice, etc.) through a similar lens each time. Alternatively, you could assign one object to the whole class and see where each student‘s own perspectives and ideas come into their writing as they discuss with peers. Very versatile! 1mo

I think this book would be great for students to read. The themes of dealing with a parent going missing, let along discovering that a parent left them, could be a very real topic for some students, and give them a protagonist to connect with. In addition to this, the dealing of a parent with cancer, or the protagonist with intense anxiety also connects the reader.

Makyah This would be a great book for younger readers because they can go the hardships as well. So feeling seen in the tough seasons that one may go through can act as a reprieve for the reader. This is why I love books they show these kinds of stories to make you feel less alone 🥹 1mo

I loved this book! It was very short and sweet and told a beautiful story. This book presents an interesting point of view, that of a type writer, and a young boy going through hardships, and prompts the reader to think about the different ways we can view the world. The story is a very quick read, and once I started, I could not put it down! PLUS there a little bit of found family within the text if that is your cup of tea.

natalie_e This sounds like a super sweet book that I'd love reading :) The interesting POV in the story would be good to provide an example or mentor text to students as well! 1mo

I either never read this one or forgot most of the story, or maybe it's shorter in the comic strip versions? It's been so long. The beginning and ending seemed familiar.

I really love Moominmamma just relentlessly adopting anyone who needs a mother.

willaful She is my ideal Mother. My mom's too. 😁 1mo
