#PoetryMatters Day 24: #Wake - this was one of the poems I asked family members to read during my mother‘s cremation service and my college kid read it aloud again during the December break when we finally released mother‘s ashes into the Persian Gulf. Found the poem in the exquisite tagged book that gave me comfort during my time of grief.
#DaysDevotedTo Day 13: My mother passed away last Sunday. This poetry anthology on #Kindness, peace, and renewal comforts me.
#DaysDevotedTo Day 6: #HealthyLifestyle means standing in awe and wonder at what the world has to offer - plus this viral cake with pistachio and kunafa filling.
In a classroom, I think students would like looking at the images and sharing what relates to them. It is easier for kids to share something if its represented so they don't feel “weird“. Maybe a good book at the tart of the year as another informal get to know me.
pickIn Every Life was published in 2023. The illustrations are to me what make this books so beautiful. This book talks about life experiences. The color that the illustrator used represents each quote. When they are talking about sadness they use dark colors, when they are talking about happy experiences they use light colors, and love is reds, pinks, and purples. Each page shows various experiences and you can spend time on each page
