"Now it's true that Margaret Wise Brown did strange things. She swam naked in cold water. She put a door in her house that led out to a cliff that plunged into the sea."

"Lives are strange. And there are people who do not like strange stories, especially in books for children. But sometimes you find a book that feels as strange as life does. These books feel true. These books are important. Margaret Wise Brown wrote books like this, and she wrote them for children, because she believed children deserve important books."

"And when Margaret Wise Brown first got paid to write a book, do you know what she did with the money? Margaret Wise Brown found a flower cart on a street in the city and she bought the whole thing. Not the cart. Not the horse. But every last flower. Margaret Wise Brown filled her little home with flowers and she threw a party and invited her friends. After a few hours her friends left. And after a few days the flowers died. Some people might think it's silly or sad to spend so much money on something that is over so soon. But I think it is beautiful. How about you?" From "The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown" by Mac Barnett and Sarah Jacoby, which is just gorgeous. . #blazerandbray #picturebook #theimportantthingaboutmargaretwisebrown #macbarnett #sarahjacoby https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lyEBLHDjj/?igshid=1wnyfpvi822tr

I ordered this the other day for my grandson and it arrived today. I have already read it, and can’t wait to read it with him. Very cute story. #extrayarn #macbarnett #readtokids https://www.instagram.com/p/B8g-NtTJ96K/?igshid=j398wrrejv2n

You can really never go wrong with either Mac Barnett or Isabelle Arsenault, both masters of the child's perspective. Indeed, sometimes when kids ask their inevitable torrent of "why" questions they want information, but other times they're looking to be challenged, to have their silliness and imaginative boundaries pushed ever further. In Barnett and Arsenault's "Just Because" (2019), a father responds to his child's litany of bedtime questions with mischievous exaggeration, a bedtime story of what-ifs to ponder as she settles in for the night. I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher for consideration as part of our book club's Best of 2019 list, and I have to say, it's right up there among my favourites. Definitely a fun read! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #justbecause #macbarnett #isabellearsenault #somanyquestions #bedtimestories #curiouskids #curiosity #askquestions #teachersfollowteachers #kidsbookstagram #findmestories_bestof2019 #inquirybasedlearning #homeschoolcommunity #montessorikids #charlottemasonhomeschool #secularhomeschooler https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GgO4RnySp/?igshid=k3gp6iwir52e

The essence of bed time procrastination lies within this book.
