This morning‘s Storytime will be my first since the election news. My goal is to create a soft space for families to land. I‘m introducing a new call & response song, which has been stuck on a loop in my head. It‘s been strangely soothing. I hope the kids like it!
If you have littles at home, I highly recommend trying this one out. It‘s called “Tall Trees.”

bailedI've been reading this book for almost a month and I'm barely 100 pages in, and as my mind kept wandering while I read I realized I'd rather read something else. So much as I hate to DNF a book, I've moved on.
What if you had more time and energy to build a better world?

I‘m going to do several posts about the Kentucky book fair. 1) I got to meet the sweet granddaughter of MLK & Coretta Scott King. This is a great tribute to her family, as well as inspiring.
2) Also got to meet our First Lady of Ky, who came to hand out the adorable coloring books about their dog. Winnie became popular during the pandemic because she would often be present at daily press briefings. Of course, Winnie wasn‘t at the fair ❤️

I loved it! I thought it followed a similar pattern to The Overstory, but focused on the ocean rather than trees. And, again, it's not so much about the plot as what it *means*. In short, it's a gorgeous "thinky" book that appeals to the heart (my favourite kind?). I'm disappointed it wasn't shortlisted.
