Sparkle Boy


Picture book
    Sparkle boy wants to wear a shimmery skirt, glittery nail polish, and a sparkly bracelet like his big sister, Jessie.  His mother, father, and grandmother fulfill his wishes.  But Jessie is disgruntled.  Boys, she insists, don't wear such things.
     When Jessie and Casey go to the library and other kids pick on him, however, she sticks up for his right to be himself.
     In the final picture she's polishing his toe nails.
     A delightfully sparkly read aloud for families who value diversity and inclusion.
On a purrrsonal note, the weather continues to be the big story here.  After the big blizzard snow day we had two days of uncomplicated commuting they're promising a morning mess.  (Jules)
Oh yuck, yuck, yuck!!!  (Tobago)
A great big shout out goes to the unsung rock stars at UMaine who keep campus walkable.
