Picture Book Exploration: Mailing May
$0.00
February 19th is the anniversary of a very little known event, as it did not impact the world very much. But it is such an interesting and sweet one that I find it worth remembering and so did Michael O. Tunnel, the author of Mailing May. May was five years old when she was sent by parcel post to visit her grandmother, 75 miles away, on February 19th, 1914. What? You say. Sent by parcel post? Yes, ma’am, by parcel post. Let’s explore this little tidbit of history.
Description
Every month I post a FREE Picture Book Exploration enrichment and recipe. The picture book is chosen from the Booklover’s booklist for that month. As with all the picture books that I introduce here, they have been carefully read and curated. I spend countless hours researching each book, event or person, author and illustrator to bring you the best enrichment activities and recipes that enhance your picture book experience. I delight in creating these Explorations and it is truly my joy to make them available to as many families as possible. The Picture Book Explorations are what you can expect to find daily through the memberships (depending on your membership level, of course). I hope you join us on this and many more Explorations!
