When life throws you a curveball, where do you go

When life throws you a curveball, where do you go to think? Who do you turn to for advice?

The Boy and the Sea follows a young boy as he spends time by the sea, alone to sit with his own thoughts. As these thoughts turn to questions, the boy looks to the sea for answers. Throughout each phase of his life the boy hears the sea whisper answers to his questions: Dream, Love, Be. And with each answer, the boy does just that.

This beautifully written and illustrated story shows the sea as a constant in this boy’s life. It’s a place where the boy feels safe to dream, ask questions, and share what’s weighing on his mind and heart without fear of judgment. Over time, the boy learns to listen not only to the sea, but to himself.

A large cardboard box + a big imagination = a new friendship filled with creativity, determination, and adventure!⁣
⁣
After the refrigerator is delivered, Grace has big plans for the box it came in. Each day she creates something new with Box: a rocket, a house, a tent, a submarine, and more! But by the end of the week, Box isn’t doing so well. He is bent, crumpled, ripped, and sagging. Grace tries to make Box feel better with rest, stories, and soup, but those ideas don’t seem to work. With some tape, cardboard reinforcements, and a lot of TLC, Box is back in business and ready for another adventure with Grace.⁣
⁣
If your kids love building and creating, grab this book along with some cardboard boxes, and see what they are inspired to make. This would be a great addition to your home or to add to your STEM/STEAM books at school!⁣

When kids must decide who goes first, they often turn to a quick game of Rock Paper Scissors. But have you ever wondered how that game got started? Drew Daywalt and Adam Rex teamed up to offer a humorous take on the game with this book and I have put together a few FREE activities to pair with it:⁣
• Character Chart⁣
• Battle Chart⁣
• Design a Pair of Battle Pants⁣
• Word Search⁣
• Spin, Tally, & Graph⁣
⁣
These were designed to keep students engaged with the text, to encourage creativity, and to have fun!⁣

Books about people who love the library? Yes, plea

Books about people who love the library?
Yes, please!

When the local library is carried away in a tornado, an empty space is left behind. The townspeople want to use the land to build a skyscraper or a parking lot, but Nia wants to rebuild the library. Unfortunately, no one else agrees and thinks the library will cost too much money for a place that no one uses.

Nia takes things into her own hands and begins writing stories. As people around town become curious, they offer suggestions on how she can improve these stories. Instead, Nia shares her pencil and invites them to become authors and illustrators with her. Before long, the town is filled with stories and books that spill into the roads and delay traffic. How can they solve this new problem? By building a library, of course!

I love that that this story shares a message about community, working together toward a common goal, and emphasizes the importance of the library.

Our bookshelf is currently filled with the most recent haul from our local library (plus a few stacks of books off to the side because we ran out of room 🤪).

It might begin with once upon a time, but this is not your average fairytale!⁣

As a brave knight sets out to the cave where the terrible dragon lives, he discovers the dragon is on vacation. Not knowing what to do next or how to finish his story, he is introduced to The One-Stop Story Shop, a magical placed filled with wigs, wands, characters, story plots, and more! Unfortunately, the shop is all out of dragons, but the storekeeper offers up a feisty substitute - a ferret!⁣
⁣
The knight is not convinced this idea will work. That’s when the shopkeeper suggests places where the knight might take the ferret on a new adventure:⁣
• Into space? No!⁣
• The Wild West? No!⁣
• The jungle? No!⁣
• How about a deep, dark ocean adventure with a giant angry octopus? Before the knight can say no, the ferret is captured. Can the knight save the day and finish his story? And what will happen when the dragon returns from vacation?⁣
⁣
This fast-paced book is filled with colorful illustrations, captivating settings, and humor that will keep your students giggling to the very end. It’s sure to inspire some new adventure stories from your most reluctant writers!⁣
