pickThis was exactly what the doctor ordered after Tuesday‘s results. I was totally charmed by Alfie, the lucky little screech owl who found herself wounded in nature writer Carl Safina‘s yard. Safina narrates Alfie‘s adventures, informs about owl behavior, but also ties in philosophy and human connection to nature (spoiler: we ARE nature). A lovely reprieve from the nastiness of this political reality. I recommend the audiobook!
I'm caught up. I can barely believe there are only 2 months left. 🙀
For the first time in a long time I had a good reading month! I whipped through Megan O‘Brien‘s Talon Security and Ride Series 2nd Generation- I couldn‘t get enough. But I think my favourite read of the month was The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches that I read with #LittensLoveRomance - Hoping to keep up the reading momentum this month.
16 books finished for October and very few were spooky season reads. Oops. In my defense, though, there was a surprise new Smiley, and that overrides just about all other considerations.
I think this is a great book to use in the classroom. It is able to inspire children to embrace their dreams and to be brave when they are faced with challenges. It teaches a great lesson of self-confidence and is able to inspire children that anyone can be a hero.
pickthis story shares about the knight owl and his preparations for his knightly duties. It shares about the importance of believing in yourself regardless of others perceptions and your size
