There are multiple legends associated with this be There are multiple legends associated with this beautiful festival. One speaks of Charumathi, one of Padmavathy, another of Chitranemi. I am not sure which one is true, maybe they all are. But today, I am soaking in all the feels of community. To all the Lakshmis in our lives- you know those people..the ones who touch you in ways you do not think possible. The ones you receive good vibes from. The ones who share their love, their friendship, their ideas, their gifts with grace. The ones who vibrate with an energy that uplifts everyone around them. May you know them, may you be them. Share this with a Lakshmi in your life.🌈 #ammatoday
If you've attended any of my circles, you know how If you've attended any of my circles, you know how much I love picture books. I almost always weave in a picture book when working with older children. Elementary children love imagination, moral dilemmas, deep dives and analysis and picture books have the ability to engage all of that thoughtfully. Here's a gentle peek into how a simple picture books lends itself to meaningful conversations and deep thinking. Layered discussions are so much better than 'moral of the story' no?💜 Should I make this into a series? If yes, which book should we deep dive into next? #ammatoday
Humour in picture books Ep 4: Unreliable Narrators Humour in picture books Ep 4: Unreliable Narrators Honestly, this is one of my favourite categories because it takes great skill to write an unreliable narrator. Here you realise, that you cannot trust the narrator because they're withholding information- either on purpose or otherwise. The books here can be used toddler upwards. These are also great to use in reading circles with older children because they teach children critical thinking skills and to read between the lines. To get links, please check link in bio- storefront- funny picture books. Who has been your favourite-eat unreliable narrator ever? Age no bar. Let us know below. Mine in comments. :)
