February 22 – World Thinking Day

Happy Thinking Day!

Thinking Day originated with the Girl Scouts, but has become a world wide event which includes politicians and world leaders. The idea is to spend a day thinking about what good can be done by understanding cultural and regional differences among people.

Read are a couple of picture books in your think tank today.

The kids are putting on a show, and no idea is too big or too wild for them! Read along as they paint, cook, dance, and sew to create their one-of-a-kind production!

Vinney was tired of being small. The bigger kids picked on him at recess, the lunch lady didn’t even notice him in the line, his teacher gave him the smallest part in the class play, and his teammates won’t pass him the ball. Vinney’s mom suggested he think big. So the very next day, he did just that. Vinney made sure everyone noticed him. But when it came time to play basketball, he found out that being small had some advantages too!
