I've had a good summer, will be back for sure in a couple of weeks, but have been in & out already. What I most like is not running out of the house early! That will stop, but still it's good to have a routine in parts of our lives. Hope you have fun these next few weeks!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-46441317165950900972013-08-12T07:35:18.653-06:002013-08-12T07:35:18.653-06:00Thanks Ramona!

It uses the photos right on your computer, doesn't store them, but there is a place on it where one can design collages. Easy to do.

I've only read a few - will have to check the others as well.<br />Now that I am not looking forward to teaching in the fall, I seem to be looking at books more from the writer's viewpoint. These definitely fit that.<br />Thanks so much for your lovely comment - as usual.<br />Hope you have had a relaxing summer.Beverley Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973073253078139054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-67698688882790026572013-08-11T23:35:31.334-06:002013-08-11T23:35:31.334-06:00Coming On Home Soon is a book that I hadn't th...Coming On Home Soon is a book that I hadn't thought of in a long time. Linda, I love how we revisit books we love through PB 10 for 10. I read The Matchbox Diary at All Write in the back of someone's van as we traveled to the workshop. How could I have forgotten Forest Has a Song? I kept rechecking it from our library until I reached the maximum times allowed. I was so excited to purchase it at All Write, to attend Amy's session, and to have her beautiful inscription in my my book. Thanks for a fabulous list. And now I must ask, how did you create that lovely collage of book covers?Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-16562347696144592992013-08-11T11:00:24.841-06:002013-08-11T11:00:24.841-06:00You're welcome, Catherine.

As I was making my list, I realized how few of the books I mentioned really spoke to diversity. My hope is that all children will see themselves in the books we have around our classroom, but sadly I know many years there aren't enough diverse titles. Even careful searching doesn't always produce the number of titles --- or the quality of images --- I hope to add. Your list was exactly what I needed. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-58384109388938372932013-08-10T20:30:32.470-06:002013-08-10T20:30:32.470-06:00I love the idea of a theme-based list--have to rem...I love the idea of a theme-based list--have to remember that for next year.
