After my move to a new school and classroom, I knew I would need to spend some additional time with my books: reviewing, weeding, resorting, and, of course, plenty of rereading. I was pulling books out left and right to share with new colleagues and new students … Books perfect for the beginning of the year. Books perfect for building community. Books perfect for writing. Books that I just love! As of right now, my classroom library is a mess with piles and stacks of books scattered. It will all come together, but in the meantime, I’m happy to be surrounded by books. But this made my task of picking just ten books even more difficult.


So, for one of my favorite days of the year -- which I do believe should be a national  
an international holiday with some bookstore sales and deals -- I selected one of my stacks:
New books that I CANNOT wait to share this year!

    I agree with you - although being from Canada, I would suggest it be an international holiday! This is a really fun list. The Book of Mistakes was also on my list. I LOVE Bears Don't Read. So much fun!

    Yes! An international holiday! :-) Lots of new titles on your list to me. I have the Knowing Book on my list, though, so that's familiar to me. I'm intrigued by the Book of Mistakes and Bears Don't Read!

    I don't know a few of these books so I'll have to check them out. I'm sure picture book sales must rise every Aug. 10th!

    I look for Bear books all the time, so am excited to see Bears Don't Read, new to me. I still need to read The Book of Mistakes, too. Time for an international holiday for sure! Best wishes in your new school, Michelle!

    The Knowing Book is one of my favorites--it's a hug for every reader.

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
