📚 JUST LIKE ME -Vanessa Brantly-Newton
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas A collection of poems that I wish I could share with every little girl, young woman, and older woman. The rhythm of most of the book is not my own personal preference, but I admit to being very moved by a page or two. There is something for everyone in this well illustrated book! #kidlit #readingrecommendations 📚 BEDTIME BONNET -Nancy Redd, Illust Nneka Myers
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas You need to read it once. Especially if you're not Black. It will be a staple in my home however, with many rereads. A cute, simple, kid-friendly way to add some understanding to a cultural thing. #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚+🥔 JAMIE O’ROURKE AND THE BIG POTATO -AN IRISH FOLKTALE -Tomie dePaola
☕️☕️☕️☕️4.0 #KristiCocoas 📚This is one from my youth that I still remember thinking “but he never learned his lesson!” and I still think that but almost love the story more for that! Lots of good character analysis even for your shorties to do in this one! 🥔Activity Ideas: •Online Read-aloud version to listen to during your St. Patrick’s party or while doing one of the activities below! https://youtu.be/g4eJxJ5v3rk •How long could you survive on potato? Look up how many different dishes can be made with potato and try making a new one! •If you caught a leprechaun, what would you want with your pot of gold? Make a large batch of some mashed potatoes (bonus: dye them green for fun!) and sculpt what you’d spend your gold on! •Leprechaun traps! Look online for ideas! *Yours truly was able to visit Dublin and, as a self proclaimed author, I have to brag that I saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College! #kidlit #recommendedreading #PB ”The Nian Monster” by Andrea Wang, illus Alina Chau = ☕️☕️☕️3.5 #KristiCocoas
This beautiful book may have some unfamiliar names, but presents a story your child will understand and introduce some of the Chinese culture and celebrations surrounding the new lunar year! It is also a good example of the intelligence and resourcefulness of children! #kidlit #PB #LunarNewYear *Bonus! Yours truly has been to China and to Yu Garden that’s mentioned in the book! Absolutely beautiful! |
