I'm Stacy McAnulty-a gummy-worm-eating, coffee-guzzling, zillion-ideas-a-minute children's book author. When I'm not writing, I'm reading, because I don't think there's anything better. Well... unless you pair reading with something else awesome like reading while lounging on a beach, or reading while eating glazed donuts, or reading while flying to Paris. (I'm not actually the one doing the flying. That would be the pilot.)

Signed books available from Bookmarks.

In celebration of I Want 100 Dogs, I'll be featuring one dog a day for 100 days on this website and on social media. Some dogs (or, actually, their owners) will win prizes. Do you want to include your pup?

Signed books are available from Bookmarks in Winston-Salem, NC.

Summertime Sleepers Animals that Estivate

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
"In spreads that evoke seafaring motifs from the Odyssey to Treasure Island, the Fan brothers ( The Night Gardener) lavish care on every delicate detail, from the ship's rigging to the foam on the waves. Breathtaking seascapes alternate with cozy scenes below decks as predators and prey huddle peaceably.

Ladies and gentlebugs, presenting the duke of the dandelion patch, champion of truth and justice, the one, the only-Sir Ladybug!

Sir Ladybug never shies away from a quest, even when he'd rather be playing a video game or baking a cake. So when a caterpillar needs rescuing from a "monster" (a hungry chickadee), Sir Ladybug and his trusty friends-his herald, a roly-poly named Pell, and his squire, a snail named Sterling-hatch the perfect (delicious) plan.

This is the first in a new graphic novel series for newly independent readers, following the adventures of a ladybug knight and his pals in the dandelion patch.

And here's Sir Ladybug's Lemon Layer Cake recipe!

Hi friends! Join Ashley today as she teaches us about an artist named Alma Thomas. Alma Thomas was an African American artist and teacher known for her color, abstract paintings. As you watch the video and view Alma Thomas' artwork, take a moment to think about what colors and patterns you see in her art. How do you feel when you look at her paintings?

Follow the steps below to create your own Alma Thomas-inspired art at home! And be sure to join us at the museum to continue learning about Alma Thomas and other influential Black leaders in our Family Play Project area!
Materials:

Paper to tear and to glue your artwork on

Crayons, markers, colored pencils (optional)

Directions:

1. Decide what type of abstract design you will create. Will you create a work inspired by Alma's lines or perhaps challenge yourself to create an abstract scene that reminds you of something you see in our physical world, like mountains!

2. Tear your paper into different shapes and sizes to create your artwork.

3. Start creating! Glue your torn pieces of paper onto your base piece of paper creating any abstract design you want!

4. How did your work of art come out? Be sure to share with us using #gcmathome

We played "Simon says" to practice our listening skills. We also did a Turn and talk to discuss the difference between hearing and listening! You could also play Statues - play music and have them stop moving when the music stops for more practice with listening.
