Wolves are my favorite non-domesticated animal (bet you can guess my favorite domestic animal)! They’re a weird mix of mysterious, playful, and powerful that I just find fascinating. I visited a wonderful animal sanctuary in Northern Indiana semi-recently that had a pack of wolves and they were just beautiful and playful! I spent almost anContinue reading “Storytime: Wolves!”

Storytime: (My Amazing) Body!
Learning about bodies is super important for kids and it makes for a fun storytime of movement! Kicking, stomping, jumping, wiggling and waggling! The things our bodies can do are amazing.
Storytime: Gardens!
Spring and Summer means it’s time to garden! I love planting my garden and seeing things grow, and even more than that I love eating all the yummy produce it creates!
Storytime: Summer!
Sum, Summ, Summer! No, it’s not my favorite season, but I do love the liveliness that comes with it. My family never took big, grand vacations.

Get ready because this is a long one! Plus, it’s a two-parter, as I’ve separated picturebooks (for 2-7 yr. olds) and books for older readers (7-12 year olds) into two different lists. Though there are classics such as Heather Has Two Mommies or Daddy’s Roomate, publishing has really done well lately with focusing on positiveContinue reading “LGBTQ+ Positive Picturebooks”
Let’s Talk About Racism and Bias Booklist
With everything going on and our current political climate, racism, prejudice, implicit bias, and microaggressions are more rampant than they’ve ever been. Or maybe that’s my privilege showing that I’m only noticing it more now. We’re all privileged in some way or another, so why not self-reflect and see if we can use those privilegesContinue reading “Let’s Talk About Racism and Bias Booklist”
