This summer I wanted to do something fun with reading while also incorporating some writing. As a former elementary school librarian I turned to picture books. There are so many great picture books and they flow so well into art projects and writing projects. They are also so versatile in age ranges. I currently have a 10 and 7 year old. They both enjoyed all of the books I found at our local library.
Our first picture book was more of a Christmas in July but I could not resist the beautiful pictures. This is Wonder & Awe by Annie Herzig:
As the title suggests this book is filled with wonder and awe as each page fills you with so many emotions. From happy, excited, to sad and lonely.
This picture book inspired us to go for a nature walk. We wrote about all of the wonderful things we saw on our nature walk. Then they painted a picture of their nature walk. Simple yet filled with wonder and awe.
