This was a really fun list to pull together and left with a brand new stack of books to add to my TBR! And while you can’t see all of the covers easily below, I promise that these are the perfect way to spend an autumn afternoon with your drink…

Storytime Theme: Lunar New Year
It’s time to celebrate Lunar New Year (or at least create a lesson plan so it’s ready when you need it!). Lunar New Year is celebrated by people in countries around the world including China, Vietnam, Korea, and Malaysia. And while celebrations may vary from one country to another, from…

Little Kids, Big Emotions: Shy
Alright, so we’ve already looked at a few of the more “common” emotions, but our series isn’t over yet! So, after happy, sad, and mad, we’re now focusing on kids feeling shy. I think that shyness often encompasses a few different things for kids including quiet and introverted kids. They…

Storytime Theme: Peekaboo
Peekaboo! I see you! This is a really fun storytime that would work especially well with babies and young toddlers. There are all sorts of great peekaboo books out there to use and I found some really cute songs and a couple of crafts and activities too. This storytime theme…

Storytime Theme: Painting
As I was finishing up this lesson plan on painting, I realized that I had just created a similar storytime lesson plan last year! So, while there are a few books that repeat on each list, there is a lot of brand new suggestions here to take a look at.…

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Candles
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday theme was officially “Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make”, but rather than share ten ideas of candles I’d make, I thought it’d be cool to share some of the amazing bookish candles that already exist in the world (and would make great presents for your own book lover!)…

Storytime Theme: Yes and No
Pulling this storytime lesson plan together was actually a little more difficult than I first thought! Yes and no picture books are not as prolific as I originally thought. Granted, there are a lot of picture books out there about consent featuring the word “no” but that’s not where I…
