Manage episode 431612985 series 3428554
Baa-hoy, Matey! What if sheep could be pirates? Join us on a woolly adventure as we chat with the talented Ashley Belote about her baalarious new picture book, Sheepwrecked. Ashley takes us through her creative journey, sharing stories from her upbringing on a sheep farm in West Virginia that inspired the tale of pirate sheep. Listen to an excerpt and get an insider's look at how she masterfully intertwines narrative and illustration to bring her characters to life.
But that's not all! We'll also touch on the magic of making story time a joyful experience for preschoolers and elementary students. Ashley and I discuss tips for keeping young readers engaged and the pivotal role teachers and librarians play. Plus, we share STEM-strategies for bringing Sheepwrecked to life in our adventure-themed summer camps. Hint: sink and float, building pirate ships, creating patterns, and unplugged coding with treasure maps are all ways to connect with this picture book!
Packed with creative ideas, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone excited about children's literature and interactive learning.
