A Poem for Peter: The Story of Ezra Jack Keats and the Creation of The Snowy Day | Andrea Davis Pinkney

pick

I loved this book! It tells the story of the author Ezra Jack Keats. His parents were Polish immigrants who settled in Brooklyn. Jacob (Jack) was born in 1916. A moving story of his desire to be an artist. He loved a series of photos from Life magazine of a charming brown skinned child. Twenty years later, he used the images to inspire his drawings for “The Snowy Day”.

5feet.of.fury I assumed that author was Black this whole time and I probably read The Snowy Day to 115 preschoolers 155 times each 😅 I don‘t know why but that blows my mind that he‘s Polish. 2y

DivineDiana @5feet.of.fury And he is Jewish. I hope you can read the book. It will give you an appreciation of him, not only as a writer and artist, but as a human being. 2y

mrp27 This was such a good book! I loved it. 2y

The Snowy Day

AshleyHoss820 Snowy Day is one of my absolute favorite books! I love the story behind it, as well! I‘m thinking of making copies of the illustrations (I don‘t think I could tear pages out of a book) and using them as decorations! 🧡 2y

DivineDiana @tpixie ❤️ 2y

DivineDiana @AshleyHoss820 I could not tear out book pages either. There are some prints available on Etsy! Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/906837126/the-snowy-day-ezra-jack-keats?ref=share_v... 2y

AshleyHoss820 @DivineDiana Ooo! Thank you! 2y

DivineDiana You‘re welcome! I love Etsy! ❤️ 2y

Well, this audiobook was not planned, since I am working now -at home of course- I renewed my audible subscription 😅 This was my first pick.

I want to read it, I think I'll enjoy it more.

P.S. It feels so good to be back on track 💚

Making progress in #NOS4A2 by #JoeHill 📖 The story is frighteningly good, but I'm also LOVING the art work along the way as well. This is the thing of nightmares 🎄📚

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed | Lori Gottlieb

pick

My first #decemberread! I loved it so much! As an aspiring mental health professional, I found it very relatable and influential. I felt every type of emotion when reading it. It stayed extremely interesting. I loved the variety of stories in it. It has helped me to acknowledge the importance of therapy and mental health more prominently. It's one of my fav reads ever!

Booktastic I liked it too, and I listened to her on a couple of podcasts and enjoyed hearing her talk about the book as well as other things. 5y

ilyssa.g @Booktastic That's awesome! I have to listen to her on podcasts then! 5y

Booktastic @ilyssa.g I heard her on Dax Shepard's podcast. She was also on Terrible, Thanks For Asking talking mostly about the story of her female patient with cancer. 5y

ilyssa.g @Booktastic Thanks for the info! 5y
