BOWERBIRD BLUES
By Aura Parker
We did it!
Thank you to all the BPS students and families for making National Simultaneous Storytime and our BLUE DAY the BEST shade of blue!
There were blue fairies, blue ballerinas, blue birds and many blue sport stars!
We love events at BPS! You could feel and hear the suspense as the LIVE count down began to 12.00pm. Aura Parker made a great introduction to the book and had us all listening attentively to the story. It is a beautiful read, with a poetic play with words and with an educational message about blue satin bowerbirds. This romantic picture story book has an adorable happy ending too!
Ask your child what they learned from this read today!
Come by the front window of the BPS library and view our blue bowerbird's bower!
