Off on a Pignic

Pignic by Matt Phelan

by Leave a Comment

What a day for a picnic! Blue skies and shady trees to climb and a kite to fly up high. Not to mention lots of siblings and parents to play with. And of course, very yummy food. It is the perfect day for climbing those trees and flying that kite (even if they do have to find one unique way to get some wind). And even a little rain does not dampen the Pig Family Picnic! The adults will enjoy the plot twists and the child in us all be wanting to climb and fly kites, too. (Not to mention […]

Albert’s Tree

Albert's Tree by Jenni Desmond

by Leave a Comment

It is SPRING! And Albert cannot wait to find his favorite tree and enjoy the always so quiet and peaceful branches. As well as taking another nap in those same said branches.  However, while trying to relax, all of a sudden, the tree starts crying. It has never done that before. What could be casing it? Albert sees that nothing has changed (it even tastes the same when he’s upside down). When Albert and some of his forest friends try different tricks that work for them when they need cheering up, nothing seems to work for the tree. It is […]

Alma

Alma and How She Got Her Name by Juana Martinez-Neal

by 1 Comment

Names are a funny thing. Growing up how many of us hated our names? I wanted to be something exotic (why I choose the nickname Raven. They are smart, clever, mischievous and even magical. Yes, a little dark, too…)  Long story short, as a child my name and I had a love/hate relationship (I loved to hate it….)  However, once I got older I learned the story of my name. I am named after a great-aunt and a grandmother. I would have been named Dominique if my mother had her way (probably why I always wanted something a little more […]

The Things That I LOVE about TREES

The Things That I LOVE about TREES by Chris Butterworth

by Leave a Comment

The things that I love about trees include such things as they give you shade; they can give you fruit like apples and oranges and peaches. They give you the sap that makes real maple syrup! They can be a great place to put a swing. They are homes to critters, birds and insects.  They are a very unique kind of plant. And in The Things That I Love about Trees by Chris Butterworth (illustrated by Charlotte Voake) shows you these things and more. It shows how each season has its own uniqueness to love about trees: spring buds, wind […]

Up in the Leaves

Up in the Leaves: The True Story of the Central Park Treehouses by Shira Boss

by Leave a Comment

Bob lives in the big city but he was not happy. It is too crowed. It is too loud. There are not a lot of trees. However, Bob finds a refuge from New York City in Central Park. Where there are actual trees he can climb and hide in. It is here he builds a series of treehouses that vary in ability as he grows from a child to about twenty-one years old. However, each one of the houses is found and removed. Until the last one that causes him to take a path he never imagined possible. Based on […]

They Say Blue

They Say Blue by Jillian Tamaki

by Leave a Comment

They Say Blue is a poetic story about color but not in the usual way one thinks of a poem or thinks of color.  Blue is for sky. Sometimes. But it is also for the ocean. Sometimes. After all, as the little girl tells us when she holds it in her hands, it is clear and she call throw it up to make diamonds. Also, the little girl wonders about things. Such as, is a blue whale actually blue? After all, she has never seen one. Many colors are explored in this manner. The text makes you think outside of […]

Black Girl Magic: A Poem

Black Girl Magic: A Poem by Mahogany L. Browne

by Leave a Comment

  Black Girl Magic: A Poem is Browne’s way of responding to the way black girls “should” look and act. Change this to: white girls, fat girls, skinny girls…. any female.  The theme is not exclusive to the population Browne speaks of.  We “should” act a certain way or else society shames you: “Be Different as long as it’s Different like Me” screamed off the page for me. “Society: Be Yourself. NO, not that way…” also is loud and clear. Browne challenges this “should” mentality.   Browne’s unique voice captures one part of society, by calling out or Roll Calling […]

by Leave a Comment

Best friends Rachel and Kirsty love fall. They want to go apple picking and carve pumpkins and have a hayride. However, this year something is very wrong! It is hotter than summer and nothing is happening as it should! Plants are rotting or not growing at all. The trees are not losing their leaves, making it so there is nothing to rake up and the girls can jump in. When the girls meet Autumn, The Falling Leaves Fairy, they learn why. Jack Frost and the Goblins are up to their old tricks again. Can the girls save Autumn: The season […]
