Thanks for coming to my page. I am two now and love to sing my

spring break and have lots of great new books to share! Here are a few
of my favorite!

The North Star by
Peter Reynolds is a

book, perfect for the
graduate in your
family.

I love Dr. Seuss,
especially There's a
Wocket in my
Pocket. However
Oh, The Plcaes
You'll Go! is a
much better fit for
graduations!

I like to help my mom and dad in our garden,
but if I had a friend like the girl from My
Garden I would love to help her! Her garden
never needs weeding, the flowers are
ever-blooming, and colors change just by
thinking of them. She even has rabbits that
wouldn't eat the lettuce because the rabbits
would be chocolate, jelly beans that would
grow on bushes and tomatoes would be the
size of beach balls. How fun!

My parents say that almost everybody who has
grown up in Chicago knows about the Thorne
Rooms. Housed in the Children’s Galleries of the
Chicago Art Institute, they are a collection of 68
exquisitely crafted miniature rooms made in the
1930s by Mrs. James Ward Thorne. Each of the 68
rooms is designed in the style of a different historic
period, and every detail is perfect, from the knobs on
the doors to the candles in the candlesticks. Some
might even say, the rooms are magic.
Imagine if you discovered a key that allowed you to
shrink so that you were small enough to sneak inside
and explore the rooms’ secrets? What if you
discovered that others had done so before you? And
that someone had left something important behind?

Rick Riordan's newest, The Red Pyramid is next in
my mom's "to read" stack, next to her bed. I bet it
will keep her up way past her bedtime because she
loves Egypt! Here is a brief glimpse-

the lead in Romeo and Juliet, Lennie is thrust into
the spotlight. A normally reserved band geek who
reads Wuthering Heights like a manifesto, Lennie is
not prepared to deal with her grief. Nor is she
equipped to confront the affection she feels for her
dead sister’s fiancé. Adding to her emotional roller

poems, written by Lennie and left for the wind to
carry away, that help readers delve deeper into her
heart. Tell Cherise I sent you in next time you see
