So good to see Nicola Campbell's book here. Your readers might want to check out her other works, too. (I worked with Nicola at UBC, which was a joy!) She's written about residential school--in a picturebook--here in Canada. Not an easy subject. But picturebooks can take on just about anything.
You're welcome. Also, we loved The Bear and The Piano too! And I'll order the Take Me Out of the Bathtub. My kids love poetry. The youngest was given a A Light in the Attic at Christmas and both kids love it.
Thanks so much, Randee -- I appreciate the kind words and, of course, your support.
Just read your read-aloud lists -- so many good ones on there! The Bus for Us is one of my top suggestions; I just love that book.
And I have to say I'm totally jealous of your book bin system -- I am always drawn to classroom book organization, even though I know it doesn't translate all that well to home (I keep trying to figure out how to do it in a way that's both functional and attractive -- so far, no luck).

Thanks so much, Sarah!

Oh good! The Bear and the Piano is such a gem. (So is Take Me Out of the Bathtub 😊)
I passed your blog on because I can honestly say I love it. I just wrote a post with several read aloud titles that you might want to take a look at.
