This week I am reading The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. This story conveys, through beautiful words and pictures, how books can change your life. The title may be familiar to you as it was originally an award-winning short film released in 2011. You can see the film version on YouTube. If you are particularly inspired you might even want to buy the app available through the iTunes store.

Mark your calendars and set your DVRs for a movie version of Christopher Paul Curtis's brilliant book, The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963. The Hallmark Channel will be premiering its original movie version this Friday, September 20th at 7:00. Check out this link for more about the movie and the cast. I have been promoting Christopher Paul Curtis's books to the middle schoolers over the past couple of weeks because they are great historical fiction reads. For more about Curtis and his books, go to the author's website, Nobody But Curtis. |
