Process

There's almost nothing I love more than watching a child work. My colleague recently sent me these photos from the end of the school year in which she captured the process of one of my students creating a masterpiece. I can't stop scrolling through to relive the wonder. Isn't it amazing?

Postmark Paris

I recently returned from my first ever trip to Paris, France, and if my self-proclaimed francophilia was pronounced before, it's in full on obsession-mode now. That's why I cannot wait to pick up this adorable children's book about a young girl's experience and adventures in Paris conveyed through her growing stamp collection. Available in hardcover from Chronicle Books for $12.95.
