![]() ![]() Wigglebottom Learns about Bullies teaches us about the importance of asking for help when bullying doesn’t stop. We have been reading a lot of Howard B Wigglebottom books to help us learn about ourselves and our relationships. ![]() This book received a big round of applause. Why not make a memory quilt for Oma!? Some students made tex t to text connections to Eve Bunting‘s The Memory String. What about her precious things? Her neighbours? Cooking apple strudel? Even the bowling alley at the home doesn’t change her mind (smelly shoes!) While Emily and her mother are sorting through Oma’s possessions, Emily has a wonderful idea. ![]() The story: Emily’s Oma (grandmother) has to move to a retirement home and she is very reluctant to do so. Then I noticed it was written by Canadian author, Paulette Bourgeois (author of the Franklin books and Big Sarah’s Little Boots) This book was bound to be a good one! I tried it out with our reading group. I pulled it off the shelf because it is illustrated by Stephane Jorisch (who also illustrated Suki’s Kimono – one of my favourite books). While searching through the library for interesting picture books, I came across Oma’s Quilt. ![]()
