Anyone who knows me well knows that it's a life long dream of mine to team up with an incredible illustrator and write/publish a children's book. Any takers? :) Beautiful illustrations and powerful words make children's books more than just for kids.
There have been moments when I've read an incredible book to my class, and they've literally given a standing ovation because they loved the book so much. (it's hilarious, but amazing at the same time) Children's books have brought tears to both my students and my eyes while we read. They can hold powerful messages and themes that are meaningful for all ages, and can help us understand the world around us in creative ways. I'll forever have an obsession with them and plan on regularly sharing my faves. :)
This book teaches readers to have a new outlook on things, and shows that creativity looks different in everyone. It's so charming, and I love the illustrations.
The book says it all. This book is hilarious, punny, and so cute.
(disclaimer: I know I said I adore illustrations, but this book is so hilarious and will make ANY child, and adult, peel over in laughter. I don't care who you are, you'll laugh.)
Peter Reynolds holds my heart for children's books. He's for sure a favorite classic author/illustrator of mine. Anything by him is fantastic.
I love the message of this book. It goes through thirteen amazing american women who changed our world for the better. It's inspiring to read to young girls to show them that they are capable of great things, no matter the challenges they have and will face.
Without further adieu, my current FAVORITE mini-series. I love Andrea Beaty's books featuring Rosie, Iggy, and Ada. These characters are so fun, and promote creativity and perseverance. They are perfect read alouds to come back to over and over again.
