Dear YOUR NAME HERE!

 

It’s MAY! MOTHER’S DAY is this month. So, mothers and family are spotlighted and celebrated every day—especially on the featured dates.  

 

May 1 Save the Rhino Day 

Jubela by Cristina Kessler (Simon & Schuster) is based on the true story of a baby rhino cared for by an elderly rhino after her mother is killed. AND don’t miss the story of how Lammie mothers an orphaned baby rhino in my book Animals to the Rescue (Lerner). Also, Here are some great kid-friendly activities for this holiday. Don’t miss the crossword puzzle. https://www.savetherhino.org/rhino-info/rhino-kids/kids-activities/

 

May 13 National Babysitters Day Read aloud How to Babysit a Grandma by Jean Reagan (Knopf Books for Young Readers) It’s fun, funny, and a discussion starter. 

 

May 16 Love A Tree Day For younger Ss share Treemendous: Diary of a Not Yet Mighty Oak by Bridget Heos (Crown) It’s the life of a tiny acorn becoming a tree. A good recommendation for older independent readers is Wishtree by Katherine Applegate (Feiwel & Friends) This amazing, award-winning story centers around the fact that on the first of May, people wrote down their wishes on pieces of cloth and put them in the tree, giving the tree nicknamed Red a special place in the community. And I also suggest they read an awesome brand-new book--Big Tree by Brian Selznick (Scholastic Press). This is an epic tale about how the fate of all life on Earth may depend on a mother tree and the bravery of two little tree seeds she produced. For even more fun, here are 5 activity ideas for this day from the National Wildlife Foundation https://blog.nwf.org/2011/05/the-five-best-ways-to-celebrate-love-a-tree-day-may-16th/

 

May 18 Visit With Your Relatives Day This May date is about spending time with those you count as family. Dolphins do that, so along with this event my coming soon book Could You Ever Dive with Dolphins!? (Scholastic) inspired this month’s activity. And I also recommend reading aloud The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant (Atheneum). 

 

That’s all till AUGUST. But don’t forget there is always more action on Write On! Sandra Markle! https://sandra-markle.blogspot.com  

HAVE A SAFE AND WONDERFUL SUMMER!    Sandra Markle
