Children’s Book Week seems like a good time for a first attempt at blogging. Teachers, students and parents are invited to use this blog to respond to my musings about libraries, books and reading.
Second graders were recently asked this question, “How are books like quilts?” Some responses included:
” They both make you feel good.”
“They both can tell a story.”
“They both have ideas stitched together.”
Thus we begin a year long journey of discovering books and quilts. Check this blog next week to talk about The Josefina Story Quilt, by Eleanor Coerr. Perhaps you can find it in your public library if it is already checked out at school. We can also try to read it in library class. For now, think about the question …
How are books like quilts?
