Next up for #bannedbooksweek is #walktwomoons by #sharoncreech I listened to the #audiobook and so I missed out on part of why this #book was banned which is in the #illustrations. The other reasons were that the book had inappropriate language and talked about things like screaming in labor, stillborn birth, and social injustice. Seriously, why do parents think kids can’t handle things? They can handle them better if things aren’t hidden from them and they are given the opportunity to ask questions in a safe environment. This book was really good. I loved the relationship between Sal and her grandparents and the whole story was heartbreaking yet beautiful. #readthisbook #bookstagram #bookgeek #bookworm #booknerd #readersofinstagram #bookish #reading #bibliophile #read #bookaddict #readbannedbooks #bookaholic #bannedbooks #bibliotherapy #ireadbannedbooks #banningbooksonlymakesmewanttoreadthemmore https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2o8CkAhNq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Word: Royal (3/18) Written like a classic fairytale put on its head, The Castle Corona by Sharon Creech will appeal to any kind of storyteller. Sharon Creech can do no wrong in my eyes, and her story about two peasant siblings and a king scared of being poisoned is touching and a riot. #justonewordbookphotochallenge #thecastlecorona #sharoncreech #royalty #peasants #fairytale #storyteller

"I love the way that each book - any book - is it's own journey. You open it, and off you go..." ~~Sharon Creech . Good evening my fellow Bookdragons🐉! I apologize for not posting on Friday & Monday. Those days too much was going on and I felt incredibly done, and I don't want to bring that kind of energy onto Bookstagram and affect you guys in turn and we need all the positivity we can get. . So, the awesome news is that I got through 9 of the 11 books I had planned for March!!! Yes! Which is not bad if I do say so myself! . The Starless Sea ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Fire Queen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Heart So Fierce and Broken ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3rd Grave Dead Ahead⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looking Glass⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4th Grave Beneath My Feet ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Toll⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keystone⭐⭐⭐⭐ . I am still reading The Priory of the Orange Tree & Dark and Deepest Red. I think part of why I haven't at least finished Dark and Deepest Red is because I have been thrown off my normal schedule. So I should finish it either tomorrow or Thursday depending on stuff and things. . I will post my TBR list tomorrow as the first post of April (no joke/prank I promise) . #keystone #katiedelahanty #fourthgravebeneathmyfeet #thirdgravedeadahead #daryndajones #thetoll #nealshusterman #lookingglass #cameronjace #aheartsofierceandbroken #brigidkemmerer #thefirequeen #joveewinters #thestarlesssea #erinmorgenstern #marchread #marchreads #bookpost #bookstagramming #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookdragons #booksbooksbooks #booksofinstagram #booklover #booknerd #bookaholic #sharoncreech #sharoncreechquote #fortunejars https://www.instagram.com/p/B-a6LrKgc5z/?igshid=5nfd1dy16o4i

"What I have since realized is that if people expect you to be brave, sometimes you pretend that you are, even when you are frightened down to your very bones." Sharon Creech from Walk Two Moons I loved this book as a kid! I think at one time I underestimated its influence on my life, but now I see that like all influences it has it's own square of fabric in the quilt of my experiences #expectations #wanderer #lifelessons #lifequotes #fakeit #walktwomoons #brave #fear #frightened #courage #bravery #sharoncreech #comingofage #pretend #art #drawing #painting #runaway #selfrealization #experience #story #book #author #literature #vehemence #emergence #vehemenceandemergence

You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad. #sharoncreech #cityofjoy #calcuttacacophony #kolkatagram #sokolkata #onlykolkata #hellokolkata (at China Town)

It seems to me that we can't explain all the truly awful things in the world like war and murder and brain tumors, and we can't fix these things, so we look at the frightening things that are closer to us and we magnify them until they burst open. Inside is something that we can manage, something that isn't as awful as it had at first seemed. It is a relief to discover that although there might be axe murderers and kidnappers in the world, most people seem a lot like us: sometimes afraid and sometimes brave, sometimes cruel and sometimes kind.

Word: Reread (12/18) If there is any book on my shelf that I reread it's Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I usually don't reread a lot of books, but I keep coming back to this one. Here I'm trying multiples and channeling Andy Warhol, kinda. #walktwomoons #sharoncreech #reread #justonewordbookphotochallenge #andywarhol #multiple #favoritebook

A Very Special Relationship with a Grandparent

Grandparents can play an important role in a child’s life. My own grandmother was one of the strongest role models in my life. She taught me the importance of kindness and acting with integrity. She was an incredible, loving and independent woman. The grandmother in Granny Torrelli Makes Soup, by Sharon Creech, reminded me so much of my own grandmother. Creech brings to life the precious relationship between grandmother and granddaughter so beautifully. The time I spent reading Granny Torrelli allowed me to remember her and to smile. 

Granny Torrelli Makes Soup (Guided Reading Level: S) is about the friendship between twelve-year-old Rosie and her best friend Bailey. Granny Torrelli serves as the voice of reason and experience throughout the story. Her actions and words are deliberate but subtle. She shares experiences from her own childhood with Rosie to guide her, rather than to tell her what to do. 

The role of food and cooking throughout the story, also reminded me of visits to my grandmother’s house. In Armenian households, much like Italian ones, food is essential to shared family experiences. Simply replace soup and pasta with dolma and bereg.

Granny Torrelli Makes Soup is going to be our first read aloud this year in my 4th grade class. I can’t wait to share this book with my students.

(SO sorry I totally dropped the ball on the pic challenge!!! July has been a crazy busy month!) Day 28: Childhood Book. Walk Two Moons is definitely a book that has stayed with me since I first read it years and years ago. I think it was the first book I read with a kiss in it(a kiss😂!!!). The story is powerful and moving, but not overly sappy, so it was a perfect book for me. What are some books from your childhood that have stayed with you over the years? #papertrailyabookchallenge #walktwomoons #sharoncreech #childhoodbook

"For one quick moment we both had the same agenda. I looked at him and he looked at me. Both of our heads moved forward. It must have been in slow motion, because I had a split second there to be reminded of Mr. Birkway’s drawing of the two heads facing each other, with the vase in between. I wondered, just for an instant, if the vase could fit between us.

If there had been a vase, we would have squashed it, because our heads moved completely together and our lips landed in the right place, which was on the other person’s lips. It was a real kiss, and it did not taste like chicken.

And our heads moved slowly backward and we stared across the lawn, and I felt like the newlY born horse who knows nothing but feels everything.

Ben touched his lips. “Did it taste like blackberries to you?” he said.”

[Excerpt from Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech]

I’m currently reading this book in English, and I love it! I mean, it’s got to be good if it’s driven me to fanart!

Shoutout to Mr. Gorman! My favorite time of the day is when I get to sit in his English class!
