A Patriot Day book not to be missed! 🇺🇸 “Everyone A Patriot Day book not to be missed! 🇺🇸

“Everyone said, ‘The Harvey is a nice old boat, but she could NEVER be used to fight a fire. NEVER.’”

Maira Kalman portrays the 9-11 tragedy in a straightforward and honest way, but also in a manner that children can grasp and appreciate without becoming too sad or overwhelmed. It’s a delicate balance, but she masterfully achieves it.

I've read Fireboat to all elementary grades (and even a few middle schoolers!) and the discussion that ensues is always curious and thoughtful, never upsetting and scary. 

We always return to this question: 

If the Harvey can be a hero, how can a regular person like me be a hero too?
Late to the Bad Guys game but definitely not out! Late to the Bad Guys game but definitely not out! @aaronblabey makes us both snort-laugh 😝
“When we pay attention, the ordinary can amaze us “When we pay attention, the ordinary can amaze us too.” 

A non-fiction treasure that holds a captive audience no matter the age! Anticipate shrieks and giggles of delight when you get to the mandrill’s colorful bottom—a crowd favorite for sure!
