Some Days Are Yellow

Some Days Are Yellow
by Suzanne Slade (Author) and Michelle Lee (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: Some days are easy! The sky is sunny, everything goes according to plan, and we know what to expect. Other days are tough! There might be raindrops or skinned knees. Things don’t go our way and we feel overwhelmed. But “No matter your day, tomorrow’s brand new!”

Snippet:
Some days are yellow.
Others feel blue.
Some days are me.
Others more you.

Jam, Too?

Jam, Too?
by JaNay Brown-Wood (Author) and Jacqueline Alcántara (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: A drum circle is forming on the beach, and one fascinated child would love to join in. Soon there’s everything from a conga’s pat-a-pat-a, pat pat to some bongos’ taka taka, ta ta–and it looks like so much fun! But what do you do when you don’t have a drum? Well, when you let the music move you, you just might find other ways to jam, too!

Snippet:
He picks this spot
most every day,
and each time, I wish
I could play.
