This month’s theme is Picture Book Poets. Join our read-aloud hour with a give-and-take discussion of IT'S CORN PICKING TIME! (Jill Esbaum & Melissa Crowton); YOU AND I ARE STARS AND NIGHT (Kate Hosford & Richard Jones); CLIMBING THE VOLCANO: A JOURNEY IN HAIKU (Curtis Manley & Jennifer K. Mann). Can’t find the books in your library? No worries! We’ll screen-share Kindle versions so we can read them together.
