Hello Hello!
I have started a google spreadsheet with a few resources that I found of people doing fantastic stuff doing lockdown. I have made the document editable so please feel free to add and keep it going! This document will be work in progress as I find new stuff :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P3rxlswzWRWwqdWwnGy8DZ70dnnW0keN8PUjWrtM7K0/edit?usp=sharing Covid-19 is clearly taking over our lives - schools are shutting, kids aren’t going to public areas or classes so basically we have kids with a ton of pent up energy. Here’s a list of books I promised you! We all know titles by Julia Donaldson, Dr Suess, Eric Carle and Oliver Jeffers, but surely there must be other talented writers out there that we can expose our children to. Of course. Today I am sharing a list of upcoming authors who are doing some fabulous work in the industry. When you go to any bookstore, library or e-commerce website you can search for these names and hopefully you should find something great! Also a few unique names for you to throw around when anyone asks you for reccomendations :)
