Weekend Links: Revisiting, Reviewing and READING!
Welcome to Weekend Links! Every aSunday I share my “finds” and reading-related goodies that I have encountered in my weekly online travels.
If I had a theme to this summer so far, it would be “travel.” by the time the end of July rolls around, I will have logged 22,000 miles in 60 days. What would it look like if traveling were free? You’d never see me again unless I could travel to ya! #travelingtribe #Scotland #midwest states #Italy #Beirut #California
But this also allows me lots of time to read, bookjump and find awesome new book-related activities for my readers! This week, as part of my Book-Jumper Summer Reading Series, this week I am celebrating children’s book author Michaela MacColl with A Michaela MacColl 5 Book Giveaway so BE SURE and enter to win!
As always I have found wonderfully amazing booklists and multicultural children’s books along the way. Here are some of my top picks:
Mia at Pragmaticmom offered up 18 Wonderful Picture Books about the Arab Nation
June is National Audiobook Month- Audio Book Picks for Young Readers and Author Max Oliver had some suggestions (and a JIAB mention!)
Activities for Kid Detectives via @learningtable
Best Books for Boys: High Interest List Books at BrainPower Boy
50 Latino Children’s Books You Should Know at Mamiverse
Star Spangled BookList: Reading for the 4th of July (just in time for Independence Day!)
I’ve also had a ball this week reviewing some of my past posts from years ago. Book activies and jumps that are still fun and relevant after all these years.

What great books finds did YOU discover this week?
Do your young readers love nature and all of nature’s critters? Experience the magical story of a family of foxes that took up residence right in the front yard of the author and publisher, Valarie Budayr. The Fox Diaries: The Year the Foxes Came to our Garden offers an enthusiastically educational opportunity to observe this fox family grow and learn together.
From digging and hunting to playing and resting, this diary shares a rare glimpse into the private lives of Momma Rennie and her babies. Come watch as they navigate this wildly dangerous but still wonderful world. Great to share with your children or students, The Fox Diaries speaks to the importance of growing and learning both individually and as a family unit. It is a perfect book for story time or family sharing. Not only can you read about the daily rituals of this marvelous fox family, there is an information-packed resource section at the end of the book that includes lots of facts and even a few “fox movies” that you can enjoy with your family. Grab your copy of this beautiful and inspiring book HERE.
