Kirkin' of the Tartan Sunday is always loud, plaid Kirkin' of the Tartan Sunday is always loud, plaid, and filled with lots of volunteers carrying tartans. Today, someone mentioned the tip to wear underwear with your kilts. Not exactly Scottish, but likely a great tip for those who put on their kilts once a year. This is not the full processional, but hopefully you get the idea. #FPCMarietta #KirkinoftheTartan #tartans #kilts #underwear
Here's a little late Monday history. FREEDOM'S EVE Here's a little late Monday history. FREEDOM'S EVE A Story of Watch Night by Pamela Courtney and Keisha Morris take a big topic and make it easy for children to learn about the Watch Night tradition through one family's observance. I love how Pamela uses a family quilt to tell this story and how Keisha illustrates the quilt and the story. It's available where books are sold or request a copy at your library. #Watchnight #quilts #americanhistory #america250 #bigtopicforchildren #gramsy #KeishaMorrisart #AuthorPamelaCourtney
I love sitting in a library and reading. When I tr I love sitting in a library and reading. When I traveled to Colorado Springs last month, I couldn't check anything out, but I enjoyed reading books in the children's section. Ask people what they are reading — they will tell you! I captured a real life review of a book by a young patron in the background of a video of a book I enjoyed. Libraries are a perfect place to read, write, and listen to the world and readers around them. Thanks again @pikespeaklibrarydistrict for sharing BEFORE I LIVED HERE by me, Victo Ngai, and Neal Porter Books in the All Pikes Peak Reads Program. #librarybooks #fiction #picturebooks #whatareyoureading
Here are some photos from our September trip to Co Here are some photos from our September trip to Colorado Springs. I was invited to share BEFORE I LIVED HERE by me, Victo Ngai and Neal Porter Books for the Pikes Peak Library District's All Pikes Peak Reads program. I did seven programs over three days, but before those ... we traveled a few days early to catch up with friends and adjust to the elevation and time change. I wrote the book while in Colorado Springs about our neighborhood. So, there were a lots of emotions as we visited many familiar places with our now teen. It was amazing to be able to share a book in the library where it was critiqued many times. And, yes, Heidi - super librarian was inflating my rental's tire! Low tire pressure is a thing. :) #BeforeILivedHere #VictoNgaiArt #NealPorterbooks #childrensbooks #pikespeaklibrarydistrict #librariansrock #Americas250 #Colorados150 @pikespeaklibrarydistrict @victongai
