It's almost time for another edition of the Summer Virtual Book Club for Kids. Yep, summer isn't quite over yet. So far this summer we have experimented with language with Audrey and Don Woods and we created collage art inspired by Mo Willems. This month the featured author is Kevin Henkes. Are you familiar with his work?
Do you know Chrysanthemum?
Have you met Lilly?
Have you been in this garden?
And, did you know that Kevin Henkes writes children's novels?
We've been really enjoying exploring the many works of Kevin Henkes. We cannot wait to share the book we have chosen and the activity we have done.
Would you like to participate in the book club? Choose a new or old favourite Kevin Henkes book. Be inspired and create a craft, activity, food or whatever. Come on by on August 20th and link up your post at the Summer Virtual Book Club for Kids blog hop!

Illustrating bad words is pretty funny. Your kids came up with some great ideas! I love the message of this book too. Will need to read it!
Cassie says
Nice visual way to bring out the book for the kids!

This sounds like a great book. My four year old has been sneaking in some "bad" words (they are really just off-limits words). We need this book! I love your activity too.
