It’s #nationalreadabookday and @mrernierecommend It’s #nationalreadabookday and @mrernierecommends and I are enjoying reading Books Travel The World by @joan.schoettler illustrated by @helena.Perez Garcia

This celebration of librarians and readers takes us from Columbia to Thailand to San Francisco and many locations in between. It is extraordinary to see the dedication and perseverance of those who want to make sure that children have books to read. Kids will be fascinated to learn that books are delivered by elephant, ship, and camel. The lyrical, free verse text shares how, in each location, books are shared, and children always request, “One more story, please!”
Each colorful spread is a visual delight showing details of each country, animals, plants, storytellers, and the excited children. 
BOOKS TRAVEL the WORLD is a love letter to all who care about books, reading, and accessibility for those in far-flung locations. It offers an appealing invitation to open and share books and is a tribute to those who help readers discover the world through books. 
I love Joan's beautiful dedication. ❤️
THE STORY Of FERDINAND is an all time favorite pic THE STORY Of FERDINAND is an all time favorite picture book but the animated movie…
Too scary for a three-year-old. We’ll stick with the classic book.

I had a great day sharing Nancy Bess Had a Dress w I had a great day sharing Nancy Bess Had a Dress with lots of students at the beautiful Three Rivers Public Library. I read, shared the history of flour sacks, and answered lots of fun questions. The students then designed their own satchels.
Thank you @tularecountylib and the Three Rivers Friends of the Library.

I love visiting libraries, classrooms, and civic organizations and am scheduling for the fall but I’m almost full so if interested, let me know.
