In the Waves

#kidlit Book of the Day: In the Waves from HarperCollins

In the Waves
by Lennon and Maisy Stella (Authors) and Steve Bjorkman (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Grab your ol’ flip-flops and your sunblock, too, for this fun-in-the-sun story told to the tune of the debut original song by Lennon and Maisy Stella, stars of the hit ABC show Nashville.

Snippet:
Just use your imagination
You can have a dream vacation
In the waves, in the water
In the waves, in the water

Hear Lennon and Maisy sing the song!

This week’s Poetry Friday Round-up is hosted by Today’s Little Ditty.

Booktalk: Need something to take to the restaurant to keep the little ones busy on Mother’s Day? A black pen or marker, even a pencil, is all you need to enjoy these fun drawing pads. The thick sturdy cardboard back turns this art pad into a small lap desk. Ready, set, draw!
