Brightly is a website created by Penguin Random House. I am so grateful to my colleague for sharing it with me! It has some incredible resources and book lists, often with some slightly older titles that I've missed in my orders! They cover all ages - even grownups! I subscribe to their email list and I … Continue reading Have you heard of Brightly Storytime?

The workshop was full of librarians, teachers, daycare facilitators and home schooling parents - some from many states away! It … Continue reading The Whole Book Approach Workshop

We are so, so lucky because a children's bookstore recently opened in our hometown! I am still kind of in shock about it. It's in a beautiful old house and has lots of little rooms and nooks to discover! It's called Enchanted Passage and if you ever are in the area and have a chance … Continue reading Author Storytime with Anna Staniszewski

Election Day in the Children’s Room

Pigeon, amusing, outspoken and often times devious, was not really taken seriously as a candidate for president. Pete the Cat - known for sage advice in his "Groovy Guides" to life and love, was thought to be … Continue reading Election Day in the Children’s Room

Here I Go Again!

How is it my last post was 3 years ago? Time sure does fly when you aren't sleeping/have a baby/have a full-time job/are just trying to get through the day. Not a good excuse though. My life has changed so much in the last few years and my priorities have changed. I have an almost-two-year-old … Continue reading Here I Go Again!

I love, love, LOVE! the new Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld book: Exclamation Mark ......!!! Great concept, great design, great story! Short and sweet, the illustrations are simple and bold, blending perfectly with the story of this little exclamation mark who tries so hard to fit in, until he realizes his full potential. I … Continue reading Picture Book Review

This little girl read the book beforehand and was SO excited to meet Toto! She brought him some food to donate to the local pet shelter. For those of you who are not familiar with the story, Toto was found in a tree as a newborn kitten after surviving a tornado that swept through Western … Continue reading Toto the Tornado Kitten!
