Happy Picture Book 10 for 10 Day!




We are so happy and can't wait to see some picture book love shared today.  This is a season of grace and flexibility.  You can join today, tomorrow, later this week.  Keep it simple with book covers, a list, one sentence why or maybe a few sentences.  
Here's the nuts and bolts -  





The Basics
Want to join the conversation? 
  • What:  10 picture books you can't live without.
  • Hashtag:  #pb10for10
  • Hosts:  @mandyrobek (you're here), 
  •             @cathymere (Reflect and Refine: Building a Learning Community)
  • Who:  Anyone interested - 
  •           educators, media specialists, librarians, parents, and book lovers.  
  • When:  Monday, August 10th
  • Where:  Leave a link to your sharing here in this post.  That will help others locate them in one space.

Here's how you can participate:
  1. Grab a Badge (just copy the URL address of the one above or take a screenshot)
  2. Choose Your Favorites:  All you need to do is choose ten picture books you cannot live without for whatever reason.  In the first days of this event, everyone shared their ten very favorite titles.  This still works.  You will notice, however, that many past participants choose some type of theme or thread to connect their selections.  We'll leave this up to you.
  3. Narrow Your List to Ten:  It isn't easy, is it?  We've seen some crafty ways to get around that number.  
  4. Write Your August 10th Post:  Write a post about the ten books you cannot live without.  Share the link to your collection here, at Enjoy and Embrace Learning, on August 10th.  
  5. No Blog?  No Problem:  If you don't have a blog, this might be the perfect time to start one --- or there are a million digital ways to join.  You could post from a Google page, create a S'more, share in Twitter (and copy the Tweet link), or any other creative idea you may be considering.  We will also be tweeting from the #pb10for10 hashtag.    
  6. Comment:  On August 10th (and maybe for a week --- there are a lot of posts) take some time to read posts from other participants.  Please comment on at least three.

  3. My theme this year is We Must Care. In light of the Milne Ice Shelf news of breaking away, I know the climate change crisis is more pressing than ever. The books I selected have to do with protecting our Earth and also enjoying her gifts. https://librariansquest.blogspot.com/2020/08/we-must-care.html

  10. Thanks for hosting! Here we go...another decade of #pb10for10. In 2010, I shared 10 must-haves for the classroom library. It seems to makes sense that in 2020 I would share 10 books you want to have in your bookbag if you're ordered home due to COVID. http://reflectandrefine.blogspot.com/2020/08/ten-picture-books-youd-want-if-youre.html
