Can we read? 2026 special edition on summer
"Permission" is such a beautiful word.
I love your news letter.
Your writing is such a joy and I get so excited to see your newsletter in my inbox. It's a "lie in bed and pretend I'm sleeping in" newsletter for me.
What a lovely compliment -- thank you so much.
I'm doing Summertime Sleepers next week with 1st graders, along with Melissa Stewart's excellent readers theater (her website is a treasure trove for fellow teachers -- the scripts wonderfully include the whole class!).
Yes, she’s amazing! And I love her books.
I will follow the permission slip! Thank you!
Pie is for sharing is one of my absolute FAVORITE summer books! The gorgeous illustrations and the slice of Americana is just so summer for me.
Love love love, of course. I need that poetry book immediately.
Summertime Sleepers is such a great book.
It is! I'm a big fan of Melissa Stewart's.
With good reason. I love Whale Fall too. And I'm looking forward to the summer release of Sharks in Kansas.
💯 Whale Fall is amazing. Sharks in Kansas is new to me — it looks great.
Added so many to my library holds! And I think The Great Frog Race needs to be a keep-forever book--poems for kids, be still my heart.
Great list. Sometimes I need a reminder to step out of writing-mode and into reader-mode,. This list will jump start that!
I've saved the permission slip and returned to it so many times!
I just read A Fish Like Me and loved it! 😊
