Travel is limited right now; heck hanging out with your extended family and friends is off the table right now, but don't fret because for November ICPL has Teen Window to the World Book Bags. Escape reality and travel between and across worlds.
Register for the bag and recieve a book (randomly assigned,) a Korean face mask (because self-care is so important,) a Japanese snack (because eating has become a national quarantine past-time), a wanderlust sticker and a map of the world with stickers so you can plan all of the fantasic places you'll visit in your life (once air-travel and road-tripping is a go!). The clocks have gone back, it's dark at 5:30 pm so hunker-down and explore the bigger world around you!
Book Bags are available for pick up beginning November 3rd and are first come, first served. To register, click here.
This was a delightful read with sparse text, and incredible attention to detail in every illustration panel. Though very simply laid out, the author tackles the distractions in our daily lives, grief and the power of nature in healing us. This would make a great gift and is perfect for middle grade and up. -Victoria
