Mondays with Mira presents TWO Wonderful Picture Books and What Makes Them Great by Mira Reisberg5/7/2018 Hullo sweet thangs - we have 2 lovely videos to share with you from two awesome former students. First up we have Nancy Churnin's biography of Irving Berlin followed by Rosie J. Pova's Sarah's Song. While they are really different from each other, what they have in common is a great love and connection with their subject matter and beautiful poetic language. Take a peek and let me know what you think in the comments xox Also, have a peek at Nancy's website right here http://www.nancychurnin.com/ And make sure to visit Rosie J Pova right here https://www.rosiejpova.com/ Mira Reisberg—Editor and Art Director at Clearfork Publishing/Spork.

That book that was written by Nancy Churnin was my childhood favorite. I used to read it from time to time, and I am just so happy that you had the book featured here. New generation of kids must still have the attitude of reading books for the kids. It's a must for them so that they will develop different essential skills they need while growing up. I was raised by my mom with that kind of pattern, and I couldn't be more thankful about that!
