Picture
Summer is here which means #PBHOT62, 2019! Traditionally this challenge has been a summer reading challenge for picture book readers, but I’ve designed this year to be a summer reading club for all ages that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home (created by a librarian).

From July 8th to August 18th, I'll be sharing stories, poems and STEAM activities. Every Monday starting on the 8th, I’ll be posting everything you’ll need for the activity and a short video of me completing the challenge.  Themes and recommended books below. Thanks for stopping by, I hope see you back on the 8th!

    Hello, I'm Rena! I'm a writer, poet and librarian.

    ​I'm on the way...to somewhere (a book contract, a delicious taco, a room full of screaming kids? Life is never dull). 

    I post about the creative life (the good and the bad), books and life in between the cracks and crevices. ​
