❤️ this! "...using picture books for STEAM and PBL is about building bridges: between literacy and science, imagination and innovation, the classroom and the real world...we offer students the tools to question, create, experience, and connect."

Badge for KidLitWriMo October writing challenge that says I'm writing 30 minutes for 30 days

A productive 30 minutes writing outside, punctuated by my pup's baying. Perfect! #kidlit #amwriting

Just gave The Little House as a baby gift! That, Green Eyes by A. Birnbaum and Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown were picture books I pored over again and again. #KidLitChat

How I longed for both!! So funny you did too!!

Yes! All the horse & dog books! All the Marguerite Henry books; Sea Star: Orphan of Chincoteague was a fave. #kidlitchat

I longed for a horse because of Pippi and a dog because of Henry Huggins!

I loved poetry and biographies (so yes, the same genre I write in now!). #kidlitchat

Without his wife Sophie, Wilson Rawls wouldn't have pubbed WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. WOODY'S WORDS tells that story. What did you achieve b/c you asked for help? What if you didn't ask?
Thx @deborahkalb.bsky.social for hosting me!
