Another sentiment that hits home for me right now. #encouragement #nevergiveup #gonebutnotforgotten #lovethis
The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds was a picture book that was published in 2003. The young girl in this tale despises art class because she believes she isn't good at drawing. Her inventiveness soars once her teacher gently advises her to start with a single dot. The narrative honors everyone's creative soul. The use of color is important in reading this because the colors express her emotions so we can see how she is feeling.
Finished this week for the Leadership 101 series I teach at work. While I (& most of my group) appreciated (pun intended) much of the core & practical information in this book, we didn‘t appreciate all of the fluff such as listing out each kind of workplace & saying why appreciation will work there. We‘d have liked more practical examples & ideas for each type of appreciation. Note: those participants who read The 5 Love Languages liked it most.
I think John Parra is an illustrator/author worthy to follow. I loved his book Green is a Chile Pepper. Nominated for the 2024 WCCPBA, I'll be reading the tagged book to all my students in the next school year. I'll let you know what they think! #WCCPBA #endpapers
It‘s time for the Sports Fair! But everyone is getting nervous about what they want to do. Good thing Dewdrop is there to cheer them on!
The nibling ended up reading this to me twice. Gorgeous coloring and adorable pictures, easy to read, and in their words “it‘s a story about friendships and helping other people and making them happy.” 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
I actually hate “kids book designed as a graduation gift“ as an entire genre. This is trite drivel. I suppose it would go well in a home with a “Live Love Laugh“ sign unironically hanging on the wall.
