Celebrate Thanksgiving Parades with Kids This Weekend [Kit]

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

Are you home this weekend with active kids who love making stuff? Check out Melissa Sweet’s activity kit to accompany her new picture book Balloons Over Broadway. I know a few little ones who are going to their first Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade who would love making the finger puppets, not to mention the box to store them in!

Books that Breathe

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Imagine a book lying on its side, its cover and top pages gently fluttering as it, well, breathes.  It’s the work of Edith Kollath, who brings technology and books together in a unique art installation.  See it here. 

Go ahead.  We’re on vacation.  You’ve got time to watch books breathe.
