Saturday Storm: Chill Out!

6/21/2013

As you may have noticed, I’ve been using a lot of topics this month that fit the summer theme. So let’s flip the seasons! It’s hot here in Texas! I could use a little cool down…how about you?

A winter wind is blowing through to cool us off! Think cold, icy, snowy experiences! Snowstorm, blizzard, ice storm, or freezing temperatures—you know, the kind that make your nose hairs freeze as soon as you step outside? How about sledding, ice-skating, snowmobiling, snowmen, snowballs, ice sculptures, falling flat on your face on the ice! You don’t have any of these experiences to share? Make one up! Just writing a story about wintry weather may bring you some temporary relief from the heat this summer! Don’t worry…you won’t make it snow in June! (Although, that might make a fun story!)

Don’t forget to leave us some comments that will cool us off!

In Iowa, it doesn't snow in June. But the weather flips minute-to-minute! Just this morning, I awoke to cold winds swirling through fully leaved trees. The sky was heavy with ash-colored clouds, also twirling in the wind. Suddenly, it began to rain, giving visual meaning to "raining buckets." Rumblings of thunder accompanied the crescendo of rain-sheets pounding against the windows. The torrent played its concerto for several minutes as we watched and listened from the dark safety of our home. Suddenly, the curtain closed. Stillness surrounded the lush green landscape, now freshly bathed. Morning sunlight began to tease my gardens, promising a hot humid day ahead. The deckside rain gauge measured an inch.

As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on. Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone? Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books. If we work together, great things will follow!
