Happy Winter Solstice!

I love this day because it is the beginning of longer days brighter days. Our Favorite Day of the Year is set on the first day of school.  Musa is nervous because he doesn’t know anyone.  The teacher comes up with a year-long project where the children celebrate their favorite day of the year with the class. This book promotes cultural diversity and learning in a #beautiful way.

The perfect read-aloud for the first day of school. This book fosters an atmosphere of active inclusion by helping the educator start a conversation about what matters to the individual children in the class.
