pickI chose Canadian Summer, the sequel to The Mitchells: Five For Victory for #foodandlit this month. The Mitchell family moves to Montreal from Washington, D.C. shortly after the end of WWII. There are 6 Mitchell children & they get up to all sorts of shenanigans. They befriend some of the French speaking locals & other interesting neighbors. These are sweet & cozy & I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. 4⭐️🇨🇦

pickThis book was published in 1945 & is the story of the Mitchell family. There are 5 Mitchell children who live with their mother & Grannie while their father & uncle are off fighting in the war. They get into all sorts of funny shenanigans with their club to help the war effort. A nice snapshot of American life during WWII. I‘m reading the sequel for #FoodAndLit - 4⭐️

Missed yesterday due to a busy family day. I love the look of these rebound editions of the Bridgerton series with 8 siblings.

“. . . in the home where twelve children were raised, where they ate and slept and worked and played and laughed and loved and grew quite old, where they'll live one, now, in this book that you hold, like the stories will, so long as they're told“
I enjoyed reading this book and trying to spot every detail of the illustrations. I think they add lots of layers to the story. The power of storytelling is shown throughout the book as the family grows old and moves out of the house. I would use this book in my classroom to spark up a conversation about what students' lives and families are like.
pickThis book is a story of a large family growing up in farmhouse. The book describes how they lived and enjoyed each other's company. The book gives a look into the family's daily life. The illustrations are expansive and detailed with elements of collage. The illustrator uses line and space to represent how the character's in the story are feeling.
