📢📚 HEADS UP! The US Open starts August 23 — and we have the perfect courtside read. 🎾
📖 About the book: SWING! by Geisel Award-winning creator James Yang follows a young Korean girl in the 1970's who loves tennis, her dad, and her hero Arthur Ashe — but whose brain "feels like it's bouncing, just like a tennis ball" when frustration hits on and off the court.
😮💨 Her dad teaches her that the best players aren't the ones who never get angry; they're the ones who learn to breathe first and swing second.
🍎 Educators: It's a great introduction to tennis legend Arthur Ashe, who became the first Black man to win the US Open in 1968 in the same stadium at Flushing Meadows that bears his name today.
💡 Try pairing this with a two-minute mindfulness breathing break before a test or when talking about managing emotions.

🎉 🎂 HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich & DAISY HELPS WITH THE DRESS! 👗💛
🪡✨ KLTV Founder Julie Gribble loves thrifting & getting creative with re-loved clothing and vintage treasures. Daisy inspired her to create this #kidlit #grwm, and to give her own re-mixed outfit a little bit of “razzle dazzle!” ✨
📖 About the book: Do you know a helper -- a kiddo who helps constantly and enthusiastically... without being asked? 😅 Daisy is definitely a helper. So when her cousin Simone's vintage wedding dress clearly could use some glitter (and a few stickers)… well, Daisy helps. 👀
🍎 Educators & librarians: this is a great #readaloud for talking about repair & apology AND a gorgeous one for family traditions & heirlooms, re-using and re-loving, & what it means to help out.
