On Sunday, we arrived at St. Joesph beach in Michigan only to find the dreaded red flag waving strong. Overcast and dangerous waves. No swimming today. It was the perfect day to relax and read on the beach.
After several hours of baking in partial sun and reading, we made our way through the local shops. Our first stop was Cabanas for some delicious Black Cherry ice cream. Afterwards, we strolled and browsed the local shops. A visit would not be complete without stopping by the local independent bookstore Forever Books. As you walk in, you are greeted with the fragrance of possibility. While browsing, I came across two exceptional picture books. The Legend of Sleeping Bear is beautifully written and illustrated. I’m looking forward to integrating this lovely into my classroom. Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall’s Hello Lighthouse was the second lakeside treasure that I discovered. Hello Lighthouse “is a luminous tribute to a steadfast lighthouse and its reassuring light.”
