Here are the ten VIRTUAL BLOG TOUR STOPS:
PREVIEW THE BOOK!
Summer in the City is a heartwarming picture book based on author Kathleen Wainwright’s childhood growing up in the city. Before there were 24-hour cartoon channels, laptop computers or the internet, what did kids do all day to occupy their time when schools were on break and the days were hot?
KIDS MADE THEIR OWN FUN!
Double-dutch, hopscotch, hide and seek…There never seemed to be enough hours in the day for kids to play with siblings and friends, explore their surroundings, or just laugh and giggle. Children and adults can enjoy this timeless story, which captures memories of blissful childhood summers in cities everywhere.
I look forward to you following the tour! This is definitely the highlight of my year! I hope that you LOVE the book as much as I love sharing it!
Keep the hardback for your library and the eBook for your classroom activities, iPad, Nook, computer!
