pick#AutumnPlease! Day 27: Nigel and the #Moon made me wonder why adults often assume that young people would only want to be one thing when they grow up. It also begs the question of how realistic should young people‘s dreams be. Maybe dreaming more than one dream is, in itself, a subversive, revolutionary act in a world that demands you to be only one thing, and never all than you can possibly be.

“All the world is asleep except for the paperboy and his dog. And this is the time when they are the happiest“
I enjoyed reading this story because the boy in this story is determined to take on his role as the paperboy. I like how the boy is motivated to do his job while also dreaming about his future. I would use this in a classroom to ask students what responsibilities they have or what dreams they will to accomplish.
pickThe Paperboy won a Caldecott Honor in 1997. This story is about a boy and his dog as they deliver the newspaper. The story is one about dreaming and hard work. The illustrations seem to be oil pastel, since the story is set in the early morning the oil pastels are a great choice since this requires lots of blending.
#FFFS is on the way to you @dabbe and should arrive Monday. #FallingForFallSwap I always forget to take a picture.
pickI 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
pick4 ⭐This was an interesting read. Papa and son go to work on a Saturday. They have many yards that they have to tend and Papa tells the son that they can tell time by the water jug. When the water jug is empty, they get to go home. However, son did a little bit more with water than drink it. He splashes his back, he waters the pets, and when the water jug is empty it‘s only 10:30 am papa has to admit that it‘s not a magical water jug.
