Patriot’s Day
Ok, so I’m almost a month late posting these photos – but I only just downloaded my Patriot’s Day photos from my camera to my computer. I’d actually forgotten all about them, and thought I was only transferring the photos I took of Grace Lin’s visit to the library and some of my feltboard stories…and then all these great parade photos popped up. Patriot’s Day this year was sunny and gorgeous, and the photos I took came out really well, for a change, so I’ve picked a few of my favorites to share here over the next few days. Mostly of horses, of course, but also look for the Old Manse hiding in the background and a few Middlesex County Volunteers (click on photos to enlarge):
Grace Lin visits today!
It’s not too late – come to the library today at 1:00 (for children ages 4 and up and their adults) or 2:00 (for children in grades 1 to 5 and their adults) and meet famed author and illustrator Grace Lin!
Grace Lin received a 2010 Newbery Honor for her book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon and just won the Massachusetts Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult literature for the same book. She has also written and illustrated many picturebooks, including The Ugly Vegetables.
I’m extremely excited about her visit; Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is my favorite book of the year – the best book I’ve read in many months – and the preschool storytime kids and I have been heartily enjoying her picturebooks for the last several weeks. We read The Ugly Vegetables together this past Thursday, and we all loved it!
