Whether it’s a game, a concert, a recital, etc.,

Whether it’s a game, a concert, a recital, etc., you’ve probably noticed just how many kids look to see who is in the audience watching. Their little faces light up when they see that someone is there just for them. But that’s not always the case for Madani. ⁣
⁣
Madani is a star soccer player. He is a highly skilled player, but it’s hard not to notice that he plays barefoot. When he steps onto the field, it seems the whole town stops to watch and cheer him on. His mom, however, only hears the cheers through her window as her sewing repairs keep her working all day long.⁣
⁣
His teammates know Madani has been saving money in a metal tin week after week. “When it’s full, I’ll go shopping downtown! And then our games will be better than ever!” The kids have only imagined what could happen if Madani wore a pair of cleats while he played.⁣
⁣
One day, Madani announces that he’ll miss practice because he has to go downtown. With the big rivalry match approaching, his teammates are excited about all the possibilities for their star player. But Madani never planned to buy cleats with the money. He’s had a different goal all along and it puts everything in perspective.❤️⁣

This book is a refreshing story about the joy of sports and teamwork, but also celebrates family and prioritizing what’s most important. It would make a wonderful addition to your school or classroom library. Thank you to @eerdmansyoungreaders for sharing this book by @franpintadera and @raquelcatalinaillustration with my family.

Kids love learning about animals and where they live. One book I think they’re going to get a kick out of is Except Antarctica! This book starts off reading like nonfiction, but quickly turns humorous as a group of determined animals set out on a journey to prove the narrator wrong!

Join the fun as a turtle, owl, dung beetle, snake, mouse, bee, and frog travel together on an unlikely expedition to find out what happens when they visit Antarctica. Will they make this cold habitat their new home? And what will the emperor penguins think about their arrival?

Little Red Sleigh is a beautifully illustrated boo

Little Red Sleigh is a beautifully illustrated book that combines perseverance with a little Christmas magic. Readers will find messages about believing in yourself, daring to dream big, having a growth mindset, overcoming obstacles, and more! After reading this story, students can create their own little red sleigh to help them remember these messages long after the book has closed. You can find this writing craft in my TPT store. Follow the link in my bio or send me a DM for the link. #littleredsleigh

Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts is one of my favori

Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts is one of my favorites to share this time of year. It is a story about kindness, the spirit of giving, and being grateful for what we have.⁣
⁣
All Jeremy wants is a pair of black high tops, the ones with two white stripes that everyone at school seems to be wearing. His grandmother says the shoes are a WANT and what Jeremy NEEDS is a pair of warm boots for winter.⁣
⁣
Jeremy is willing to spend his own money to buy the special shoes from a thrift store - even if it means squeezing his toes into a pair of shoes that are too small. What will Jeremy do with a pair of shoes he so desperately wanted, but can’t wear?⁣

Took a quick trip to the local library today. Here are the books that made it into the bag. I’ll be sharing these over the next few weeks as bedtime stories with my kids, but let me know which titles catch your eye.

Perfect Pets…is there such a thing? ⁣ ⁣ Barn

Perfect Pets…is there such a thing? ⁣
⁣
Barnabus is a half-mouse, half-elephant. He has lived in a secret lab hidden deep underground beneath the PERFECT PETS shop for as long as he can remember. His days are spent in a bell jar as he listens to Pip the cockroach tells stories about the world above.⁣
⁣
One day, the Green Rubber Suits place red FAIL stamps on all the jars. Barnabus learns that he and his friends will be recycled. He decides he will turn this impossible situation into an opportunity to discover a new place that might be home. After freeing his friends, he must lead the group through numerous challenges and dangers. But what will happen when they reach the surface?⁣
⁣
This is not your typical picture book. With a longer length and detailed artwork, readers are swept into an adventure story filled with suspense. They will be rooting for Barnabus and the others to break free and find the place where they are welcomed for who they are.⁣
⁣
I love that this story has a message about staying true to yourself, embracing the imperfections that make us who we are, courage, and the power of working together as a team. This would be a fantastic addition to your school or home library.⁣
