February 15, 2016 Claire Annette Noland 4 Comments

Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday and it has gotten even better because it is also International Book Giving Day. I can’t think of a better way for a book lover to celebrate than by giving books. There are many children who don’t have books or access to them. The purpose of International Book Giving Day […]

It is also important for all children to learn about children who live in other places, speak different languages, look different, or have different challenges to face. Reading opens the world to […]

Counting Counts for the Christmas Bird Count

January 5, 2016 Claire Annette Noland 3 Comments

Today is National Bird Day which is the perfect day to share my latest field trip which was definitely for the birds.   I have tried to participate in the Christmas Bird Count for many years but, because of teaching and family obligations, I was never able to find a day that worked. Fortunately, I […]

Gathering Grateful is a warm and cozy celebration Gathering Grateful is a warm and cozy celebration of all the goodness of autumn with the change in season and the gathering together of family. The lyrical verse is deceptively simple and absolutely beautiful when paired with the gorgeous illustrations. Gather with those you love and share this beautiful book as you count your blessings.

“What does it mean to be kind anyway?” Is the ques “What does it mean to be kind anyway?” Is the question at the heart of this beautiful picture book which speaks right to a child’s heart. We certainly need kindness and let’s each do our part, no matter how small, and see how that kindness spreads. Thank you @patzmill and @jenhill for writing and illustrating this important book.

King Tides mean not only very high tides but also King Tides mean not only very high tides but also extremely low tides. This afternoon low tide was -1.2 feet. Perfect for exploring tide pools. MY DEAR SEA by Andre Carrillo is another great book for beach goers. My favorite line is
“Try not to trip, protect foot and knee,
And never forget to respect my dear Sea.”
