the books i‘m planning on taking with me on #vacation

lounging lazily,
she fritters the day away,
her nose in a book.

You could use this book to begin exploring the family traditions of students in the class.
Picture Book, published in 1993
The illustrator of this book uses composition, arranging flying objects on the page surrounding a car to portray that the driver is in a hurry because they are excited to visit their family.
“But none of us thought about Virgina much. We were so busy hugging and eating and breathing together.“
This book could serve as a way to talk about families. Some families are very close to their extended relatives, demonstrated in this story.
Caldecott Honor Book | Picture book published in 1986
The images in the book look like incredibly hand drawn, almost as if they were done in colored pencil. This gives the book a more “homey“ feel to it, which very much relates to the storyline.
Personally I am not a fan of this book and do not think it would have a place in my classroom. There is not much representation and it just looks old. I know that if I can not personally take the time to read and be interested that my students would also struggle.
“And when the relatives came, the house was full of hugs and laughter.“
