One of my favourite things about the work that I do is having the opportunity to embrace and be surrounded by children's literature. Books, music, singing, dancing... those are my most favourite parts of the day and usually are the basis of my interactions with kids. I love story-telling, whether it be books, stories of my own, or those that the children choose to share with me. This lovely little book here is one of my all time faves ....
... the story begins, "once there was a boy and one day he found a penguin at his door'. Perfect. It's so lovely and funny too. And to my sheer joy and delight, I recently discovered that they've made it into a short film, and based on this trailer.. on my, it looks magical.
And if you're really digging all of this, check out this fun video about the author. He's Irish! He has a great mustache! I love it!
