Good afternoon Blue Jay feather fans! Today I asked my fb friends to share their found Blue Jay feathers so I can take them to classrooms when I read my book! The jays are common in my area but some children have never seen one. Claire Sedovic has many blue jay illustrations in my book and I want the content to have real life connections to my audience\u2026hence the feathers!<\/p>\n
After a brief walk in my own little woodlot, I also asked my elderly neighbour if she had any beautiful feathers. She did and generously shared them with me!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had many neighbours in my life but Doreen is not only kind, generous and a wise soul, she\u2019s also funny, hardworking and nothing escapes her. She is always there to help and eager to share her wisdom.<\/p>\n
Someday I think I\u2019ll write a story about her. I told her she reminded me of Ice Cap, \u201cas cool as she is kind\u201d and possessing a \u201cheart of gold\u201d.<\/p>\n
Today, remember to smile and communicate with your elderly neighbours! They are truly treasures!<\/p>\n
Cheers to all of you!
