so-soA rare case of “I think the movie did it better.” Whale Rider is a powerful story, but I found it cinematically more moving (which is a rare take for me). I listened to the audio on this reread and think that perhaps it would have benefited from not being read by the author. Not my fave Ihimaera.
pickThis is an amazing book for older kids. It has beautiful photos in it that go along with explaining the amazing animals. And it fulfilled the last spot for #ISpyBingoMarch. I'm finally finished it! @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks #ReadAway24 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
1. The Lantana in the backyard has a little bloom on it and my dog Toppy is in the picture.
2. The Lantana in the front yard has several blooms on it.
3. I put out some mealworms for the birds around the trees in the front and backyard.
4 & 5 - I drew an oracle card at the beginning of the week and I also did a before bed tarot spread one night because I bought some new tarot cards recently.
