FINGERS IN THE DIRT
Remember when you did finger painting as a kid in school? Getting dirty was accepted and FUN!
With Spring in the air--well, it's getting closer--why not get your children's fingers in the dirt.
They can plant pumpkin or other seeds and read Old Oak and Little Pumpkin as they look through the bright illustrations and watch from planting seeds to sprouting to "twisty twirly curly vines" and then to pumpkins!
You might keep track on your calendar, following the stages of the plants or flowers whose seeds you have planted.
Or take photos at each stage of growth or draw pictures.
Even Fall pumpkins begin as seeds in Spring. Good time to begin planting indoors. And it's a Goodread, too.
Let me know how it turns out.

Surely, there have been people in your life who gave valuable advice, support, mentoring. There have been people who stood by you through rough waters and challenging times, when the days ahead were foggy and uncertain.
These are your Old Oaks. Why Oak?
Oaks are one of the strongest trees and live for a long time, even up to 1000 years or more.
The ancients connected this longevity to wisdom and sought the advice of oak trees when making important decisions. Throughout the centuries, people believed oaks would bring happiness and health.
Fortunately, Little Pumpkin also has an Old Oak, who shares wise counsel when Little Pumpkin feels alone and scared about what might happen with the long winter coming on.
Old Oak and Little Pumpkin is your children’s book of trust, courage, and reassurance—and of course pumpkins and children—by award-winning author Linda Bryce.
