Day 13
I am fighting unseasonably warm temperatures (90+ with no AC) with ADRIFT: An Odd Couple of Polar Bears a new release by author/illustrator Jessica Olien. This is an adorable story about two polar bears who aren't friends--I love this because I tell my students all the time that you don't have to be friends with everyone but you do have to be civil to them.
An iceberg breaks off and the two polar bears float out to sea together. My student giggled when the two built a wall separating themselves and mentioned doing that with a sibling. All of my students found the constellation illustrations very interesting.
I loved the nonfiction Author's Note about Polar Bears and the melting ice cap at the North Pole. Olien does a really great job of bringing attention to a serious topic in a fun and engaging way.
