“And that was the moment when Sofia first knew being brave means doing the thing you must do, though your heart cracks with fear. Though you're just in Grade Two.“

I like that the community gets together at the end to build a park together.

When Sofia Valdez sees a problem, she will find a solution! In this book, she visits City Hall to turn a pile of trash into a park. The lesson of this book is that you have to be brave to do what's right!

The National Parks: America's Best Idea : an Illustrated History | Dayton Duncan

#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

I love to listen to relaxing sounds when reading, especially those that involve nature (rain sounds are a favorite). My new passion are the albums on the National Parks with beautiful musical tones as well as sounds from the parks themselves. The albums are all available on AppleMusic and Spotify, and I created a playlist on Spotify if you're interested. Here's the shortened link:

Kerrbearlib I‘m going to check these albums out- thanks for sharing! 4mo

dabbe @Kerrbearlib They're my new fave ... I have the entire playlist running all day through my Sonos. I hope you like them! 🩵💙🩵 4mo

Suet624 Oh my gosh! Thank you for this playlist. I like listening to nature sounds, especially in winter when the snow is coming down outside my window. 4mo

dabbe @Suet624 You're welcome! I'm playing it right now! 🩶🧡🩶 4mo

TieDyeDude That's cool. I never thought to listen to ambient sounds before. I'll have to give that a try. Stacy doesn't like listening to music while reading, so that could be a compromise. 4mo

dabbe @TieDyeDude I hope she likes it! 🤩 4mo

The Park and the People: A History of Central Park | Roy Rosenzweig, Elizabeth Blackmar

#SummerSouls #park Every time I have gone to New York, I try to visit some part of Central Park. A treasure! When it was first built, the common complaint was it was too far north, the city would develop that far out.😂 New York wouldn‘t be the same without this amazing space.

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds amazing! 6mo

“Within National Parks is room-glorious room-room in which to find ourselves, in which to think and hope, to dream and plan, to rest and resolve.” ~Enos Mills

I‘ve been following Amber Share on Instagram for quite awhile so I was especially excited to get this from @wideeyedreader for Mother‘s Day. I loved it ❤️

A lovely introduction to a lot of the national parks around the US!

Separated out by regions, there‘s brief blurbs for all sorts of national parks. Then there‘s more in depth explorations of several of the parks.

The adorable artwork illustrates animals, plants, notable landmarks, & exciting phenomena in all of these locations.

This was a delight to share with my nibling, and I can‘t wait to take them to see these places! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
