We will be having a My Weird School party here in the ballroom above the library this Saturday 9/29/12 at 11:00 a.m. for kids in grades 2-3 (others are welcome, but kids in grades 2-3 will have the most fun). At the party, kids will juggle scarves for Fizz Ed, take the School Nurse Challenge (balance a yardstick on your nose), do one of Ms. Hannah's art projects, and leave spelling words on a board for Miss Daisy to learn. Kids will also have snacks and get a chance to win My Weird School books. Please sign up if you are interested.
We recently got a new picture book called
My Brave Year of Firsts, another title by Jamie Lee Curtis who came out with hits such as
It's Hard to Be Five and
Today I Feel Silly.
My Brave Year of Firsts is fun and exuberant and made me laugh out loud on the first page. Laura Cornell's illustrations are full of energy and complement the rhyming text perfectly. Both kids and their parents will enjoy it.
On Saturday, Oct. 6 there is a Community Day Celebration that makes up part of the Youth Literature Festival centered in Champaign. The website, with more details including directions to the IHotel where it is located, can be seen
here. The Community Day is a chance for the public to meet lots of amazing children's authors including some of my favorites like
Nic Bishop and
Joseph Bruchac. The full list of authors is
here.
I'm really excited because I like meeting authors and getting books signed. I hope I'll see some of you there!
