🎒✂️ BACK-TO-SCHOOL BOOKS & CRAFTS! We've just UPDATED our bumper resource! 🎉

🍎 Check out our list of new and diverse back-to-school books paired up with the best crafts from across the web! Here are three of our favorites:

📖 ALL THE WAYS WE LEARN by Chloe Ito Ward, illustrated by Yaroslava Apollonova: a celebration of kids who learn by jumping, tapping, building, & making a joyful mess, from a neurodivergent author-illustrator team. Pair it with a free "My Amazing Brain" printable. 🧠

📖 GETTING READY FOR FIRST GRADE by The Tutu Teacher, illustrated by Debby Rahmalia: Leilani is excited & a little bit nervous, but her new teacher, Mr. Gray, has her back. Pair it with a make-your-own school bus picture frame from I Heart Crafty Things. 🚌

📖 FALL IS FOR BEGINNINGS by Rajani LaRocca, Writer, illustrated by Abhi Alwar: Ravi & Joe are best friends, so when Ellie joins the class and turns the duo into a trio, Ravi is not so sure about it. Pair it with a yarn-wrapped pencil from Our Kid Things. ✏️

🤗 A big thanks to I AM for curating this essential resource for teachers, librarians, and parents!

✨NEW READ OUT LOUD!✨ 🎺🦜 Every bird in this book is a real, hand-carved wooden figure from Oaxaca, Mexico -- and that's not the only thing that makes this flock special; they also play in a band! 🎶

Teachers, librarians, & parents, join author Cynthia Weill as she shares ¡TOCAMOS! on Read Out Loud. It's a bilingual storytime that teaches kids about musical instruments in English and Spanish AND a lesson in Mexican folk art.

🎬 Watch here 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadOutLoudTOCAMOS

💡 Try it as a first-instruments book in either language — or both. Then hand out anything that makes a noise & form your own band. 🎵

✨NEW READY SET DRAW!✨ As a child, author/illustrator Selina Alko loved to read books like The Wizard of Oz, Madeline, & the Betsy-Tacy and Nancy Drew mystery series. They just happen to be the same books a young Judy Blume also loved best! 📚❤️

On Ready Set Draw! kids learn how to create this image along with Selina through painting & collage techniques. Join in here 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadySetDrawJUDYTHEGREAT

🎨 Here’s what they'll need:
-Paper
-Paint
-Water
-Paintbrushes
-Scissors
-Glue

🌟 We’d love to feature your kids' artwork in the KLTV Fan Art Gallery! Share a 📸 in the comments 👇

✨NEW READ OUT LOUD VIDEO!✨🗽🐻 Get ready for bright lights, towering skyscrapers, yellow taxis, & the rumble of the subway! BABY BROWN BEAR has landed in NEW YORK CITY (KidLit TV's hometown!), and we can't wait to show him AND your kiddos around! 🍎🚕

📖 About the book: In THE ADVENTURES OF BABY BROWN BEAR IN NEW YORK, by Cari Hitchcock, Baby Brown Bear comes to the Big Apple and everything, from the glowing billboards of Times Square to the peaceful paths of Central Park, feels larger than life to this curious little bear. When he gets separated from his grown-ups, he discovers that even in a huge city, kindness can find you when you need it most. 🧡

🗺️ Along with the story, kids get a tour of NYC landmarks and gentle lessons about bravery, independence, & family love. 🥰

🎸 Here's the lovely part: Cari has traveled the world touring with Air Supply Music (her husband, Russell Hitchcock, who we meet in the video, is the band's lead singer) & their travels are the inspiration for the whole BABY BROWN BEAR series.

🎬 Join Cari as she shares THE ADVENTURES OF BABY BROWN BEAR IN NEW YORK on Read Out Loud here 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadOutLoudBABYBROWNBEARinNEWYORK
