pick#Celebrate Day 6: This #HolidaySetting book interrogates what it means if you are the only Muslim family witnessing Christmas in your neighborhood. And as I noted in my review: “Just as I was searching for narratives that depict what it is like from an insider‘s vantage to truly celebrate Eid as a family, this book comes along.” Here‘s more: https://wp.me/pDlzr-rfq

I reread this one every year on the solstice. 💙
This can be a story used to help evoke feelings of calmness in the classroom due to its repetitive lines and simple illustrations
so-soThis story is unique in the way that it is illustrated with many horizontal and vertical lines, using all black and white besides a few hints of yellow, representing the light throughout the story. The stark images represent the calm, dark, nighttime scene and rhythmic story.
pickStunning illustrations and a very cute picture book. The book reads forwards and backwards about a girl who goes to her house, reads a book and imagines flying a bird in the night.
It‘s been a wonderful solstice. A long walk along the river in the snowy woods and reading the tagged book by the light of the Christmas tree. It‘s a book we will come back to. Thanks @TheBookHippie for the great lists of recommendations!
Happy Solstice! Blessed Yule! This day reminds me to take a deep breath, enjoy the light and feel some hope in the chaos around me. I love slipping away from the commercial world to have moments of focus back on nature. I will have wassail and a fire tonight , my family tradition for 9 years- and Brynne is home to make the wassail!!! 🕯️🤍🕯️I hope all of you experience some calm too💙(tagging some who celebrate but wishing for everyone)
