Beautiful 'false spring' day in Colorado! Hit the trails with my daughter and the Grand 🥾
It was muddy af for most of the hike and as I was slippin' and slidin' I kept thinking about Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey, and again--I'm amazed anyone completed that journey!!
“See there's a monster in my closet. With claws and teeth and hair and tonight i'm going to scare. Him he lives just right through there i spot my monster right away he's practicing his roar.“
This is a wonderful story for any teacher to use as a social-emotional learning read aloud to teach children how to overcome stress, fear, and anxiety and that things aren't always as scary as we think they may be.
pickSpeculative fiction. Published 2017. This book is a super humorous story about a brave young ninja who needs to figure out how to catch the monster in his closet. The underlying message from this story is how to overcome stress, fear, and anxiety. This is a great read for a whole class read aloud in younger grades. I love this story!

pickA great historical fiction book for children. I think it goes over many key factors of this time period and make it very kid friendly.
