Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to my fundraising page for Words Alive (where I volunteer...today I read the tagged book and two others to 4- and 5-year-olds)!
The fundraising campaign runs until 1 Feb, and I am just $75 from meeting my goal. If you'd like to help me meet my goal while supporting a love of reading for kids in San Diego County here's how: https://charity.centuryclubsd.org/fundraiser/6848737
pickAh the first book in the series. It all makes sense now since I read it backwards and have no regrets. The girl finds the crayon, makes a door and winds up in a fantastical realm to find all her friends from the other books and the villains. Just a sweet story and stunning illustrations.
pickA whimsical, light-hearted adventure filled with playfulness.
It‘s exactly where my imagination loves to wander.

#Classic
pickFilled with references from standard classics in the illustrations, this seems very nostalgic and may be a great gift for someone who loves the classic. It was published in 2016 and it had escaped my notice this whole time.
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Yesterday‘s haiku was inspired by my night in my stark little room at the dojo. It was a cool (not cold, it‘s Hawaii) blustery night with the rain hitting against the window invoking a cozy, comforting feeling.
Rain pounds the window
Drops shine, diamonds in the night
Cozy in my room

I wasn‘t familiar with the term Pluviophile when I ran across it on TikTok, but I am one. I love a good rainy day & find peace & joy in them. While it was just a couple of small showers this morning, it inspired today‘s haiku. It also works for #WeirdWordWednesday
Morning drizzle falls
Not enough rain to fill my
Pluviophile soul

This story follows Beekle, an imaginary friend who sets out to find the child who will imagine him. In the classroom, the book is useful for exploring themes of friendship, courage, and belonging. It can spark discussions about imagination and creativity, while also encouraging students to write or draw about their own imaginary friends or the friends they‘d like to have.
