pickDelightful! In my little corner of Maine, no tree seems to be safe from new housing being built or neighbors “wanting less shade” or highways being widened all at the expense of our stately gorgeous forests. So, to spend time with this man who loves trees with a passion and has made his climbing a career of adventures and focus was so enjoyable! (There‘s crazy stuff in the trees of the world, gang. Stuff that bites and stings…and worse.😬) 4.5⭐️
“In this book, I‘ll show you how to explore and investigate things in the forest. But when you do this, you should always take an adult with you. And you should never put anything from the forest in your mouth unless an adult can identify what it is, as some plants can be poisonous.”
Students will explore the fascinating world of trees and forests using Can You Hear the Trees Talking? Discovering the Hidden Life of the Forest by Peter Wohlleben.

This morning‘s Storytime will be my first since the election news. My goal is to create a soft space for families to land. I‘m introducing a new call & response song, which has been stuck on a loop in my head. It‘s been strangely soothing. I hope the kids like it!
If you have littles at home, I highly recommend trying this one out. It‘s called “Tall Trees.”

A Tale Of Three Trees
One tree clinging to summer.
A second tree conceding it is time for fall.
The third tree embraces fall in red-leafed glory.
These three trees caught my attention yesterday at our local park. Each in different stage of fall, despite their close proximity to each other. 🍃🍂🍁
