Working in small groups\, we will read aloud and then respond to the story with using engaging and creative prompts that encourage us to discuss\, write\, and draw! After small group time\, we’ll have a chance to share our responses with the whole group. \nHear a perspective that is new to you\, enjoy reading together\, express your ideas\, and find power in the written word. \nAll Read and Write Nights will take place via Google Meet. \nEach participating family will receive a copy of our monthly book prior to the event\nThis month’s session is open to 16 families \n\nRegistration opens on November 20th\nClick here to register\nOur December title is Malala’s Magic Pencil\nwritten by Malala Yousafzai and illustrated by Kerascoët \nMalala’s first picture book will inspire young readers everywhere to find the magic all around them. \nAs a child in Pakistan\, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil. She would use it to make everyone happy\, to erase the smell of garbage from her city\, to sleep an extra hour in the morning. But as she grew older\, Malala saw that there were more important things to wish for. She saw a world that needed fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil\, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true. \nThis beautifully illustrated volume tells Malala’s story for a younger audience and shows them the worldview that allowed Malala to hold on to hope even in the most difficult of times. \n
