🍂🎨 APPLE PICKING, PUMPKIN PATCHES, & COLORFUL LEAVES GALORE! The seasons are changing, and our freshly UPDATED book & activity pairings are full of inspiration for fall! 🧡
🍎 Teachers, librarians, & parents, here's one of our favorite pairings of the bunch:
🍂 In IF YOU FIND A LEAF by Aimée Sicuro, a young artist gathers fallen leaves & imagines each one into something new. A Japanese Zelkova becomes a boat, a Honey Locust becomes a swing -- and if your kiddo does the paired activity from Unlocking fun, colorful leaves they find become a fox tail. 🦊
🎬 You can join Amy for more fun with leaves on Ready Set Draw! Head outside and collect a few that you like, look at their shapes, & collage along with her 👉 www.kidlit.tv/IfYouFindALeafReadySetDraw
📚 Plus apple pie crafts, leaf suncatchers, a paper bag chipmunk, & LOTS more books 👉 www.kidlit.tv/KidLitCrafts&ActivitiesFALL

✨NEW READ ALOUD VIDEO!✨ 🕊️📖 Rumi was born on this day in 1207. Eight centuries later, he is still one of the most widely read poets in the world. Today we're sharing Rashin Kheiriyeh's beautifully illustrated story of his childhood. 🌙
🎬 Join Rashin for Read Out Loud as she shares her picture book RUMI–POET OF JOY AND LOVE, which received a starred review from the School Library Journal, here 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadOutLoudRUMI
🍎 Educators: Rashin's illustrations are inspired by 13th-century Persian art AND at the back of the book there's information about Rumi's life & the whirling dervish meditation called Sama.

✨NEW READ ALOUD VIDEO!✨ 🐶🎸
📖 About the book: Mrs. Crockess is a drum-playing dog in pink glasses, and Ivy Briggs is her very best girl. When Ivy snaps a guitar string in the middle of practice, the two race to the music shop before it closes. The only problem is Mrs. Crockess has no pockets -- dogs generally don't. So how will she carry her money, her keys, her phone, her map, her bone, her lip balm...
🎬 Join Julia Kolouch Books for Read Out Loud as she shares her super-funny picture book THE ADVENTURES OF MRS. CROCKESS AND IVY: NO POCKETS? NO PROBLEM! illustrated by Petros Bouloubasis illustration, here 👉 www.kidlit.tv/ReadOutLoudTHEADVENTURESOFMRSCROCKESS
🍎 Educators: It's a great read to encourage problem-solving & perseverance! 💪
💡 Circle time activity: Every time Mrs. Crockess picks up one more thing, stop & ask "Where's THAT going to go?" 🦴
