Reading on the Lawn at City Hall




Today about 300 of us marched from Pershing Square to City Hall to protest the cuts in city services to children. I volunteered to read to kids on the lawn at the end of the march. Sounded like it would be fun, but it turned out to be freezing cold and a bit drizzly. Here you can see I cajoled at least a few kids into reading Bark, George! by Jules Feiffer with me.

Earth Day Storytime


For our Earth Day storytime today we read a few favorites, The Imaginary Garden by Andrew Larsen, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, and 10 Things I Can Do to Help My World by Melanie Walsh. I dragged out the imaginary garden we painted back in September and each of the kids planted a small succulent, adding to our imaginary garden with some real live plants.
