A Passage to India | E. M. Forster
post image

Today's weather in India, as today's chapter is a good one to talk about it.

The heat makes things quite unbearable & influences behaviour of those who live there.

The British don't appreciate the sun.

Thunder Cake | Patricia Polacco

Every single time I shelve this book, I think it reads “Murder Cake.” 😂

Went for a walk and the sky was split in two by the lovely British Summer Weather. Sunny, scattered cloud skies to the East and Thunder storms and rain to the West. It was very blustery but the wind pushed me home and just in time

Nova Scotia Mi‘kmaq artist Alan Silyboy has followed his The Thundermaker with another picture book about Little Thunder. Once again, the mixed media art is stunning and the tale is engrossing. #Indigenous #kidlit #AllAges #Canadian #picturebook

The only reason I‘m not giving this picture book a 5-star rating is because of the text design. On some pages the text is placed over a cloud that grays the artwork beneath. Sometimes white text (with a gray shadow) is placed against a bright yellow background. In both cases, I find the effect visually unappealing and not easy to read.

Mi‘maq artist Alan Syliboy says he is inspired by petroglyphs. I love these animals and the texture of the landscape they are leaping through.

It‘s National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada. I‘m celebrating by reading some books from IBBY Canada‘s 2021 update to their recommended Indigenous picture books list. 125 titles: https://www.ibby-canada.org/indigenous-picture-book-collection/

Just a Thunderstorm | Mercer Mayer, Gina Mayer
post image

Cleo is almost 9 and just decided that she is going to be afraid of rain and thunder. She keeps looking up at the ceiling and shaking. When we don‘t have enough sympathy for her she runs to the bathroom to hide. She didn‘t appreciate my reading “It‘s Just A Thunderstorm” to her. 🤷🏼‍♀️I don‘t know why #cleopatraboodog #littlecritter #mercermayer #thunderstorm

AmyG Awwww sweet boy. 4y
TheSpineView Poor baby! 4y
xicanti Poor Cleo! My Hannah was the same way. I had to make sure she had a clear path to crawl under my bed whenever the thunder struck. 4y

PurpleTulipGirl We have used Thundershirts to some success. Rescue Remedy has been helpful for some of my friends. Dogs are sensitive to noise and pressure changes. It‘s hard to soothe them without encouraging the behavior. (edited) 4y
katy4peas @PurpleTulipGirl Oh, thanks for the suggestions. We been hesitant about the thunder shirt causing her more anxiety because she doesn't like to wear things like that.. and I don't know anyone who actually uses one. Rescue Remedy is new to me, but I like that idea as well. 👍 Thunder never bothered her, but she must have had a bad experience when she was home alone at some point and now it freaks her out and seems to be getting worse. 4y
PurpleTulipGirl It might be helpful to try her in the thunder shirt when it‘s not storming, to see if she‘d like it. Treats help. Rescue Remedy can help mellow her out a smidge, as might CBD stuff if you live where that‘s legal. (Disclaimer: Not a vet, just sharing what I‘ve experienced and heard from friends.) 4y

This may LOOK like a Bear book and with reason. It has the same illustrator of the Bear books by Karma Wilson. Jane Chapman is a fantastic illustrator and the Bear Books are one of favorites.

However, this book is by Paul Bright. Hopefully it lives up to Chapman's illustrations.

Last one for today.
