Z – Can it be? Yes, we’ve reached the end of the alphabet in the 2015 A to Z April Blog Challenge. As a kindergarten teacher, I know what a big deal it is when we reach the letter Z. It is also a big deal for all the A to Z Blog challengers. Here […]

L is for London – Read the World A to Z April Blog Challenge

April 14, 2015 Claire Annette Noland 9 Comments

If it’s Tuesday it is time to find a place that starts with L and what better place than London? There’s just a bit of a problem. There are lots of children’s books that either begin, end, or are entirely based in London. I can’t narrow my choices to just one so I’m sharing a […]

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.”
