so-soThis fictional #picturebook focuses on the first person narration of a young child who says and does mean things to Van Gogh. I‘m not 100% sure of the audience age on this one - some bigger words and the narration just seems more for an older audience. I do love the illustrations in this one - so Van Gogh-esque. #BBRC #LetterA
pickI find it interesting when I read to my students that when you ask about feelings, they can only name 3: happy, sad, or mad. This book forced us to talk about very complex feelings like jealousy and guilt, which are really combinations of shame and worry. #WCCPBA 2023 nominee #underthedustcover #readoutloud
Not just a quote, but it's my favorite on the subject of #regret.

pickUnlike typical picture books meant to teach kids kindness, this doesn‘t have a happy ending. We never find out exactly what happened to the girl who was bullied, & the main character is left with a poignant sense of regret that she learned a valuable lesson too late. But the book itself isn‘t unkind, & I wouldn‘t hesitate to share it with young kids. I think they‘ll learn from it & appreciate the realism. #KindnessDay #NovemberNarrative
This book is about a young girl who does not accept a new girl at school. This young girl quickly is taught the power of kindness.
This is a great read-aloud for any aged student, or adult about the power of each kindness.
Will definitely be using this in my future classroom
