We just might be the last ones on earth to read The Storm Whale by Benji Davies. One of the best stories we've read in awhile--heartwarming and poignant to the nth degree. Seek it out if you haven't read it yet—hard not to fall in love with this one.
From my post on Honest to Nod today. With the end of the school year upon us, I’m sharing a way to make summer reading more fun. Nosh inspired by the wonderful team at Super Make It!
On Sudden Hill is about childhood, friendship, change, deeply beautiful sunsets and a huge box-on-wheels called Mr. ClimbFierce. It also exemplifies the slow life, which I'm a fan of. Thoughtfully written by Linda Sarah and illustrated by Benji Davies.
I'm a sucker for children's travel books. Here's the latest from Big Picture Press: Metropolis by Benoit Tardif. Snapshots of 32 different cities includes notable architecture, landmarks, local gastronomy, food culture and cultural gems. The cities featured are Montreal, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Paris, London, Moscow, Berlin, Zurich, Rome, Stockholm, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Athens, Istanbul, Cairo, Fez, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Bombay, Seoul, Jakarta, Sydney and Auckland.
With June around the corner, I'm over on hello, Wonderful sharing some of our favorite chapter books for the summer. Summer is such the perfect time to re-read old stories that you know and love AND discover soon-to-be favorites. What is everyone looking forward to reading this summer? We're still adding to our summer stack!
