Franky The Finicky Flamingo

by Wanda Luthman

Synopsis:

Young kids love Franky in the award-winning picture book Franky the Finicky Flamingo! Franky is a beautifully colored pink flamingo but, he doesn't know the right food to eat. He tries food that other birds like but he doesn't enjoy any of them. Then, the unthinkable happens. His adored pink color begins to fade. What will Franky do now? Find out in Franky the Finicky Flamingo.

And...

Little Birdie Grows Up

by Wanda Luthman

Synopsis:

Young kids love Little Birdie in the award-winning picture book Little Birdie Grows Up! This charming picture book follows the story of a little blue bird pecking out of his shell and into the world. He longs to learn how to fly. Children will laugh as he eats a worm for the first time and they will identify with his first attempts at flying as he falls a bit short. We learn perseverance by watching him try again. This book is ideal for young kids but also enjoyable for the whole family as it shares the universal message of longing to grow up. Come along on the journey of Little Birdie Grows Up.

This is Why I Do What I Do with Story Time Facebook Live

What joy it brings me to see a few of our young muses out there tuning into Story Time Facebook Live.

The parents of these darling children recently sent me photographs of them tuning in on Saturday, October 10th. The parents made of point of saying how their oldest is missing story time at the local library due to the COVID-19 regulations and they are finding this to be a terrific alternative.
