More shapes

A long time ago, I made another book about shapes called SHAPE SPACE. I just ran across a couple of blogs about kids enjoying this book. Rachel, a creative child living in Cairo, made some wonderful collages with shapes. Check them out here. Kerry, a poet and dancer, posted this lovely entry: click here.

A Shape Capers Day in Westbrook, Maine

The Warren Memorial Library in Westbrook, Maine is presenting a Shape Capers Day! 

There will be lots of fun activities, including a treasure hunt, music making, crafts, movement games, and more. Books will be available for purchase, and I will also happily sign copies of my books that kids bring from home. Westbrook and Gorham have an inservice day on March 27th, so the public schools are closed. So---come down for some shape fun!

Read With ME program, and was distributed to 17,000 Maine kindergarten children.
