Melting Snowman Art Project #ClassroomConnections

February 3, 2021 By Laura

Wow! Art teacher Leah Newton emailed me recently to share this very cool art project related to Snowman – Cold = Puddle.

She’s got a great lesson plan where kids learn about color theory and the states of matter AND make lovely art at the same time!

Don’t miss it. And teachers, nothing makes writers happier than when you share how you used our books to make a different kind of art in your classrooms. Thanks, Leah!

[My Classroom Connections posts share a way to connect one of my books or poems to a classroom topic–often something timely that you might be covering in the next month or so. Please share this post if you have educator friends who might be interested–thanks!]

February News

Making Mittens?

Maybe you've seen Bernie Sanders and his mittens? Well, they go right along with my exciting news that my 2021 picture book is called If You Want to Knit Some Mittens. Angela Matteson did the amazing, charming art, and the book's available for pre-order now!

Otherwise, I'm just hunkering down for heavy-duty writing time! Hope to have some fun news to share soon, once contracts are signed!
