Book Birthdays Part 2

At least I knew what I was going to wear today.

Last year for Halloween, Mrs. Kelliher and I dressed up as the character from Susan Verde's I am Peace. I dug it out, donned the peace earrings and necklace and I was good to go for the day.

Party 5: The Three Little Yogis and the Wolf Who Lost His Breath: A Fair Tale to Help You Feel Better by Susan Verde and illustrated by Jay Fleck

It was so good to see some new faces at the party AND Susan!  Thanks to KidLit TV you, too, can have a little party yourself for the book.  Hey! It's not too late! A birthday lasts the whole month, you know. Mine is in June and in my family the month is renamed, Junacey.



The final party of the week was this afternoon. When I looked outside and saw clouds, I felt hopeful that some kids would stay in and join me.  Three enthusiastic (another chapter please) and grateful guests showed up and I was happy.

Party 6: We Dream of Space by Newbery winner Erin Entrada Kelly

I bought this book on libro.fm yesterday thinking I would be able to find the five and a half hours to listen. Yeah, that didn't happen.  But we still had a great party.  Having the audiobook helped.  I projected my screen with this sample from Harper Collins and paired it with the audio.  You know it's a good party when everyone wants to keep reading.

(This was a good birthday rendition. Please disregard that I got the title wrong. Ugh.)

This week, this crazy leaping librarian gave away twelve books plus two prints.  I just can't help myself. Maybe only one book birthday party next week?  Ha.  Anyone want to place a bet that will happen? I could use some extra cash lol. xo
