What a delightful book about a grandmother who crosses the jungle to go see her daughter and grandchildren! I read it online on everand, but will buy the paper version for the grandkid. I think it will speak to her just as much as it spoke to me.

Hey! Guess what?! The sky isn‘t really falling.

I liked this take on an old classic.

@aroyse ... I seem to recall you teaching a brilliant syntax lesson to your AP 5-6 kids using “The Three Little Pigs“. Thought you'd enjoy this (+ any other Littens who love Shakespeare and want to laugh!) 😂:

This is the second year I‘ve read this one as part of my holiday reads and I loved it even more the second time around. I finished it last night and today is the Winter Solstice! I plan to spend some time in the sun today and tonight I‘ll journal by candlelight to reflect on the past year and my hopes for the new year. This book is a wonderful reminder to embrace the light with gratitude and everything it represents ❤️🕯️🌞🌙✨

This little book was a reread and I‘m so glad I finally splurged on my own copy this year! It‘s my favorite collection of solstice stories. 12 legends from indigenous cultures around the world about the seasonal return of the sun, or its original birth in the world, and thoughtful introductions to each making insightful connections.

ON MARCH 31, 1880, thousands of people gathered in Wabash, Indiana, the first American municipality to be lit by electric lights. Bands played, guns fired salutes, and then the lights sprang to life. A hush fell over the crowd. Some people groaned and fell to their knees. #firstlinefridays @ShyBookOwl

jen_the_scribe I read this one for the first time last year and it‘s become one of my favorite holiday reads 😊 4mo
IndoorDame @jen_the_scribe it‘s a reread for me too, but I haven‘t picked it up in several years so I‘m really looking forward to it 😊 4mo

📖 When I was little my mom used to read me a pop up version of The Nutcracker and tell me about dancing in it, so every year I read a retelling and/or watch the ballet

📖I especially love winter/Christmas ghost stories

📖 I have a soft spot for winter/Christmas historic cozies like Agatha Christie‘s The Sittaford Mystery

📖 I always read something for solstice and highly recommend the tagged book

Snagging some early bird points last minute- as you do!

Super low key TBR this time around. Trying to finish off my Storygraph challenges for 2023 while I have the chance. Wish me luck- I‘ll be contending with the yearly hell that is Nutcracker
