It's Better Being a Bunny | Marilyn Sadler

pick

PJ the bunny finds out he likes being a bunny more than a pig. Cute art work and message to listen to your parents. It also didn‘t hurt that the main character is a bunny. We have 3 as pets. 🐇

Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants | Robin Wall Kimmerer, Monique Gray Smith

CuriousG This is one of my favourite quotations. I am a teacher, so it speaks to me in general, but I use it with students when doing assignments that involve them seeking wisdom and knowledge from family and community members. It is such a nice way to reinforce connectedness in a population that often feels very disconnected from their community. ❤️ 1y

megnews @CuriousG I think it is becoming part of the human condition to feel alone in the world. I love anything that reminds us we are not. Others have gone or are going through the same thing. Talking with others authentically will show us this and help us find our way. (edited) 14mo

CuriousG @megnews Agreed - the world does seems more disconnected now that we can essentially get what we want without ever even leaving our homes/interacting with other people. It is so important we do what we can to remind others of how much we benefit from both social contact and the wisdom of other humans. I'm guilty myself of wanting to retreat in tough times, but the reality is the connections with others are what get me through those times. 14mo

Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants | Robin Wall Kimmerer, Monique Gray Smith

Simplified text, illustrations & lots of white space make this important text—about Indigenous worldviews & reciprocal relationships within our environment—more accessible for young readers. That being said, I recommend sticking with the adult version for any teen who is a strong reader or has a deep interest in this topic. The adaptation emphasizes the didactic nature without the original nuance & the addition of reflection questions is annoying.

Recent research has shown that the smell of humus exerts a physiological effect on humans. Breathing in the scent of Mother Earth stimulates within us the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that plays a role in regulating mood and behaviour.

The Harry Potter Collection: The First Six Spellbinding Adventures at Hogwarts | J. K. Rowling

Added to my Happy Potter Lego with the Divination Class book and Dark Arts class book on bottom shelf. Collection coming along nicely. @Enchanted_Bibliophile How's your collection coming along? @Cupcake12 #lego #harrypotter #hogwarts #magicalbeasts #magic #collection #popheads #lessons

Enchanted_Bibliophile That looks awesome! Jealous ... I'm also looking for those 2 editions. Currently we're working hard on floor renovation in our lego room, then it's painting and new shelfs. So building have been postponed for the time being. Will send photos as soons as everything isn't covered in dust anymore. 😜 2y

hannah-leeloo Ooooh I can't wait to see @Enchanted_Bibliophile 😍 it's going to look awesome. Hoping you find the 2 editions too soon. My next build is going to be the new Jurassic Park set 2y

DinoMom We have one of the book set finished and a few more not started yet. My son just finished a bunch of the other LEGO potter sets. We have to get shelves up so we can display them. Your collect is awesome 2y

hannah-leeloo Thank you @DinoMom you'll have to share the display when done 😊 2y

The Energy Bus for Kids: A Story about Staying Positive and Overcoming Challenges | Jon Gordon

pick

Awesome #KidLit book about learning to face challenges with a positive approach. George and the other kids find inspiration from Joy, the school bus driver, who calls her bus "The Energy Bus" and introduces 5 steps that "will take you on a positive ride through life." Great story with awesome illustrations that I recommend for anyone looking for a positive book for kids.??#Childrensbook
