Over this long holiday weekend Wes has the class reading buddies: Peppa and George. Mom will be thankful to get back to scooby doo books 😂
Which is the best Canadian picture book? I rank a selection of recent award finalists. #kidlit

pickDebut author Jack Wong used pastels & watercolour to create a series of joyful outdoor swimming scenes—in lakes, rivers, the ocean—and celebrate interacting with nature through swimming in this beautiful, award-winning picture book. People of diverse heritage & abilities are portrayed, encouraging readers not to be afraid of the water, and also conveys the message that enjoying the natural world belongs to everyone. #Canadian #kidlit
I decided to make a book representing the freedom to discover swimming because representation is power: We can use it to depict the world we are striving for, before that world is a reality for everyone.
[from the author‘s note]
When you can swim,
you‘ll reach landscapes as foreign as the moon
no spaceship required

Two #Swim titles from my TBR, one from my #BOTM stack & one an ARC on my Kindle. 🏊♀️ 🏊♂️
#SummerSpecial Day 28: Our view for lunch today overlooking the Bodrum Castle made us want to #Swim and this dog beat us to it. What a gorgeous place. Thrilled to be spending an entire week in the Turkish Riviera overlooking the Aegean. Vacation!
