My Monday posts are generally just a highlight of what I've been reading during the week so if you'd like to see all that I've been reading, follow my Goodreads page.
Hi friends! Over on TikTok, I am having fun making book and dog-related content. Sometimes at the same time:

Last week I had the honor of participating in the blog your for Anne Ursu's new book The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy
I also recently read and enjoyed:
Survivor Tree by Marcie Colleen, illustrated by Aaron Becker
Recently there have been quite a few picture books to come out about the 9/11 Survivor Tree, so it takes a lot to make each one stand out. With this book, what stands out is when the single turn of a page makes you gasp and leave you speechless, you know you've experienced something special. Let Me Fix You a Plate: A Tale of Two Kitchens by Elizabeth Lilly

I didn't know about the Survivor Tree until I read about it in one of the other recently published picture books. I'll have to check this one out, too.
ReplyDeleteI put every one on my list, Beth, & I too have not read The Survivor Tree, only This Very Tree. Your TikTok is funny! Thanks for all!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're enjoying making TikToks—I admire bloggers who get out into the world of social media! Survivor Tree looks absolutely beautiful based on the cover, and Aaron Becker is always a great illustrator. It is funny, because I went online and searched "9/11 tree" and found FOUR more picture books about it—3 published in the last 14 months! And 1 more from the 10th anniversary of 9/11, not the 20th. Tomatoes for Neela and Every Cake Has a Story look lovely too—books about food are books I enjoy, in general! Thanks so much for the great post, Beth!
ReplyDeleteLoved the TikTok video!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding There's a Ghost in this House to my list. Looking forward to seeing the overlay you described! And I hope our libraries get a copy of The Survivor Tree by Marcie Colleen. I'd also like to read Survivor Tree by Cheryl Somers Aubin. I've never been to the actual 9/11 tree, but I HAVE visited the Survivor Tree from the Oklahoma City bombing and it's quite sobering. There's a picture book Survivor Tree by Gaye Sanders about the Oklahoma tree. Would be quite a week to share all three. Thanks for the shares, Beth!
