Living at the zoo is all Bea the lion has ever kno

Living at the zoo is all Bea the lion has ever known, but she often dreams about exploring the world. Her mom says she belongs with her pride, but Bea believes there’s more for her to see and do outside the zoo. It isn’t long before she hatches an elaborate escape plan (warning: it involves 🐦 + 💩). When all the pieces of the plan fall into place, will Bea have the courage to leave the only home she’s ever known? ⁣

This humorous book is the start of a new series and has a great message about being yourself and having the courage to follow your dreams. It would make a great addition to your character education book collection! Thank you @authorbcummings for sharing this book with my family. ⁣

Here's what made it into the bag during yesterday's library visit. Do you see any titles that catch your eye?

Have you had snow yet this winter? Ours melted almost two weeks ago and I’m not sure if (or when) we’ll see more.❄️ As we’re starting to make room on the shelf for our latest library haul, I realized I haven’t shared one of my favorite winter books yet - Snowflake Bentley.⁣
⁣
This picture book biography tells the story behind Wilson Bentley, a man who studied snowflakes and took detailed photographs of them. This work was challenging and not often understood by others, but that didn’t stop Wilson from exploring his passion. Not only does this book tell the story of his life, but many pages include interesting facts off to the side. ⁣
⁣
Do you share this book with your students each winter?⁣

GIVEAWAY CLOSED Winner is @monicadslp ———

GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Winner is @monicadslp

——————————————————————

Kids blurt and interrupt - a lot! One of my favorite books for helping students with this is My Mouth is a Volcano by Julia Cook.

In this story, Louis always interrupts! All of his thoughts are very important to him, and when he has something to say, his words rumble and grumble in his tummy, they wiggle and jiggle on his tongue and then they push on his teeth, right before he ERUPTS (or interrupts). His mouth is a volcano! But when others begin to interrupt Louis, he learns how to respectfully wait for his turn to talk.

I am teaming up with @nationalcenterforyouthissues to give one lucky teacher some resources for your classroom. The winner of this giveaway will receive a copy of the book, My Mouth is a Volcano by @juliacookonline PLUS a .zip file with printable and digital resources I have created to pair with the book.

I have been not-so-patiently waiting for this book

I have been not-so-patiently waiting for this book to arrive, but let me tell you, it has been so worth the wait!

This book follows a brother and sister who are stuck inside on a rainy day with nothing to do until Grandmother offers some wise advice:
“Use those beautiful and brilliant minds of yours.
Lift your arms,
close your eyes,
take a deep breath,
and believe in a thing.
Somebody somewhere at some point was just as bored as you are now.”

And just like that, their imaginations take them on an exciting journey where they can leave behind their apartment for a short period of time.

As the book continues and the siblings are faced with new challenges and situations, this same advice carries them through each one. Over time, they discover that with their imaginations, no one can stop them from flying.

This book combines gorgeous illustrations with a powerful message about imagination, resilience, and the courage to face challenges with confidence. It would be an amazing addition to your school or classroom library!

Have you read this book yet?

By now your students have probably set goals for the new year. Just don't let them become a set it and forget it situation. So, how can you encourage those same kids to make those goals a reality? One way is to share books that include a message about hard work, determination, perseverance, and having a growth mindset. Here are some of my favorite books for goal setting. If you want to learn more about these books (plus a few more), I have a blog post to share. Follow the link in my bio or send me a DM for more info.

When it comes to building a snowman, how big is too big? ⛄️ ⁣
⁣
After weeks of falling snow, Cami Lou invites her brother to help her build a huge snowman. With a lot of hard work and help from some adults (and their rigs), Snowzilla is created. As news spreads about this mammoth snowman, thousands of people flock to the town to see it in person. The neighbors and townspeople complain, and eventually, a judge determines that Snowzilla must come down. Can Cami Lou convince her town to save the snowman?⁣
⁣
This rhyming story is a winter favorite in our house. It has a great message about hard work and determination, overcoming challenges, and community. Have you had enough snow yet to build a snowman?⛄️⁣
