Kids Summer Reading (5): All Together Now

                                          

The past three weeks, we talked about FRIENDSHIP and COMMUNITY and KINDNESS and programs. Last week we talked about DISPLAY IDEAS. 

Go back and check them out if you missed them.

This week it' all about picture books to add to your collection.

Again, I'm focusing on the big three: Friendship, Kindness, and Community.

Kindness:

Feelings and Friendship:

Community:

That's the end of the summer reading posts for kids - stay tuned next week for ideas for teens!

Book Tok: Bring It On

 

I loved Bring It On - so I was super excited to see there was a book coming out about it. I don't read many nonfiction books for adults, but there was no way I was not reading this one.

And it was good!

@yabooknerdlibrarian #stitch with @laurasu90 Bring It On! The history of how the movie was made and its legacy - really fun read. Now I need to go watch the movie! Toothbrushing scene anyone? #bringiton #cheerleading #cheerocracy #booktok #movie #books #toros #clovers #sportsmovie ♬ original sound - Jennifer @YA Book Nerd 📚📚📚

And now I want books about Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You and What a Girl Wants and The Cutting Edge... 

Picture Book Wednesday: Little Black Lives Matter

Yes, it's Black History Month.

And yes, it's important to read Black history titles during this period - but it's also important to read them all year long, 

Here's a new one that just came into the library:

The news is terrible - but history shows that people can change the world. This book takes a look at Black people who have changed the world and encourages Black children to be brave and lead an amazing life.

A sweet story with a great message and gorgeous illustrations. This is a fantastic book to share for older kids and maybe do a little research into the lives mentioned.

This week - with Valentine's Day - it's a romance freebie. I'm a HUGE reader of romance books. Mostly I stick to Regency Romances and Contemporary Romances.

Just a few reasons why it made me happy:

Blooper Reel: Knightley Turns One

 Last month, Knightley turned one. 

We had a small party with doggie ice cream.

Enjoy these cute pictures!
