Last week I was fortunate enough to participate in the Honolulu Zoo's Wild About Reading event, featuring storytellers and crafts throughout the day. The event was organized in partnership by the Hawaii State Library, Children's Literature Hawaii and the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl and featured free books for the first 500 families, courtesy of award-winning author and illustrator James Rumford, who donated copies of his book, Chee-Lin. A great time was had by all, and I hope they make this an annual event.
In addition to reading an assortment of wildlife picture books, including Baby Honu Saves the Day, I created a coloring sheet to celebrate the day:
