Eyes That Kiss in the Corners
As part of my Lola’s New Year’s Day Raffle, I sent copies of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners to several of my nieces and nephews, who happen to be mixtures of white/European, Filipino, Chinese, Indonesian blood.
Picture Book Re-Fresh
Before my writing group meeting this morning, I grabbed a few books that I wanted to re-read today for inspiration to work on my own writing.
World Read Aloud Day 2020
In honor of World Read Aloud Day, here are two of our all time favorite picture books to read out loud.
Picture Books are for EVERYONE
Picture Books are for EVERYONE. Over the summer, Little Lion systematically pulled out almost every single picture book off of our shelves so she could re-read them. All of them.
When Sadness Is At Your Door
How often do I talk about SADNESS with my patients? Every day.
Roof Octopus
What I love about Roof Octopus is the quirkiness of the storyline and the whimsical, magical, and colorful illustrations that match the story perfectly. Basically a little girl wakes up to find an octopus on her rooftop. And while the adults aren't so quick to accept someone new and foreign to their neighborhood, Nora is wholeheartedly all in.
Eleanor, Quiet No More
The first book that caught my eye when I saw the display for Women In History at the local library last month was Eleanor, Quiet No More: The Life of Eleanor Roosevelt written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Gary Kelley. The cover is a gorgeous painting of Eleanor Roosevelt, that looks like a photograph. What's more, it looks like Eleanor is looking at the reader right in the eyes.
Unicorns versus Goats
I'm keeping with the unicorn theme for the next few book recommendations, thus locking in my other moniker as Dr. Unicorn/the Unicorn doctor. :D This time we're talking about Bob Shea's Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great in which a unicorn takes on a goat in a fight. Sort of.
Leo, A Ghost Story
It's the time of ghost and goblins and ghouls. And it's also the perfect time for me to recommend Leo: A Ghost Story to you all. Currently I've been fangirling (Is fanboying a saying too?) over picture books that have a very specific monochromatic color scheme. And picture books that are more than what they seem. Leo: A Ghost Story encompasses both of those things!
The Unicorn Doctor and Uni the Unicorn
One of my patients calls me 'the unicorn doctor'. It's true. And, it's oh so flattering.
In honor of my little patient, I'm going to do a review recommendation of Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Uni the Unicorn
Monsters, Not Incorporated
As you may know, dragons are very popular here in the Bookworm house. And, true to form, Steve Light's follow-up, Have You Seen My Monster? is just as delightful as the first book. Whereas the dragon book follows a dragon and his boy around the city, the monster edition is set at an idyllic county fair.
Triangle versus Square
At the heart of Triangle is a story about one friend playing a prank on another and having it backfire on him. But, are Triangle and Square friends?
