Picture Book Review: Bread is Love

Every weekend one family makes bread. Bread has four ingredients. It takes a lot of time and patience to make bread. 

This book shares who to make bread, step-by-step instructions in a story. I love how the bread doesn't turn out the same way every week, but that it doesn't matter. It still tastes good and it's still a celebration of family time. And there is a recipe at the back of the book. The illustrations are fantastic and cozy.

* warning: this book might inspire you to make bread. 

Picture Book Wednesday: Women's History Month Books (4)

 

Another round of picture books perfect for sharing all year, but especially during Women's History Month

Asiya loves visiting her Nanu's house and looking at the katha chest. She loves seeing all the katha quilts and sharing their stories. These stories come from generations of women in the family.

I loved the family tales woven together from the fabric of the quilts. The quilts are amazing and colorful. The illustrations are lovely with bright colors. 

For homework, students are preparing a presentation about a trailblazing woman. One boy picks Betty White. 

I love that this book shows research, a fun librarian, and highlights from Betty White's career. And of course Betty herself appears. 

This new addition to the series features 16 girls and women who persisted in their fields. 

Another great chapter to these books. More fantastic illustrations. More famous women shared (some I recognized and some I didn't).
