I love books that encourage us to imagine and look at the world a little differently. This beautiful book about sea glass does just that, with a fun summer vibe! (Thanks @candlewickpress for sending us a complimentary review copy). πŸ– "Sea Glass Summer" was written by Michelle Houts and illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. This story follows a young boy named Thomas who spends his summer days exploring the beach and searching for sea glass. He dreams of the possible places that the sea glass came from. πŸ’­ This tale of wonder and imagination encourages the reader to think about the beauty of sea glass, as well as the wonderful ways that we are all connected. The illustrations are breathtaking, using vivid beach colors, and inspiring you to dream of your own visit to the beach. 🏝 Head over to the blog today to check out our full review of the book, as well as the fun activities we paired with it (including this easy and delicious sea glass candy!). πŸ“– #beachdays #seaglass #summerbooks #beachbooks #kidcrafts #kidactivities #summeractivities #kidsbooks #booksforkids #childrensbooks #kidlit #storytime #raisingreaders #raiseareader #readtoyourkids #readingtolearn #readingtogether #momblogger #preschoolmom #elementaryteacher #kindergartenmom #momtribe #teachingkids #booksforlittleones #kidsbookswelove β€” view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2X7RGjo

Emotions are a difficult thing to explain to kids. So I am always happy to find books that introduce the topic to kids in a fun way. πŸ“š (Thanks @cleverbooks.us for sharing complimentary review copies of these adorable books with us!).

With the 4th of July around the corner, this is the perfect time to talk to kids about what it means to be American, and how they can make a difference as citizens. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ It is easy for kids to think that being an American is all about apple pie, baseball, fireworks, and other stereotypical symbols. But these three books are a great way to introduce the topics of citizenship, active participation and what it really means to be an American. πŸ“š These inspirational books provide quotes from the past, ideas for the future, and hope for the country that we can be. πŸ“– Head over to the blog to learn more about these books just in time for the 4th! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ #booksaboutamerica #citizen #americancitizen #civicduty #howtomakeadifference #makingadifference #theamericandream #whatitmeanstobeamerican #kidsbooks #booksforkids #childrensbooks #kidlit #storytime #raisingreaders #raiseareader #readtoyourkids #readingtolearn #readingtogether #momblogger #preschoolmom #elementaryteacher #kindergartenmom #momtribe #teachingkids #booksforlittleones #kidsbookswelove β€” view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2J3XyoG

I love finding books that teach kids to look at the world in a new way. So I was thrilled when we were given the chance to check out this beautiful book! (Thanks to @candlewickpress for the complimentary review copy!) πŸ“– Mr. Posey's New Glasses was written by former poet laureate Ted Kooser, and illustrated by Daniel Duncan. In this beautiful book, an elderly man named Mr. Posey decides that he needs a new pair of glasses to brighten his world. His young neighbor Andy goes with him to the Thrift Shop, and together they try on lots of different sets of glasses. Each pair brings new discoveries and a different view of the world. 🌎 The story is a great reminder to look at the world differently and appreciate what you have.

Do your kids enjoy watching birds? 🐦 We love checking out all the different birds that fly through our yard, so we were thrilled when @candlewickpress sent us a copy of this beautiful book to review! πŸ“– β€œBirds” was written by Carme Lemniscates. The lyrical text pays tribute to the many different kinds of bird, while also recognizing their majestic nature that encourages us to dream and imagine. Who hasn’t dreamt of soaring high like a bird? πŸ¦… Our neighbor puts out bird feeders along our shared fence, and thanks to her, we get to spend a good portion of the summer watching birds swoop in and eat from it. So this book really struck a chord with us.
