Blackout!

With the East Coast still recovering from Hurricane Sandy, (hundreds of thousands are still without power) I thought it would be a great time to introduce one of our Beehive Book Award Nominees this year...

Blackout, written and illustrated by John Rocco! This is such a wonderful book, with a great story, and beautiful illustrations! When the power goes out in a busy city neighborhood, amazing and wonderful things happen in this cute family and the community around them. It's a great read, and the illustrations tell as much of the story as the words. Don't miss this! I'm excited to share it with our students this week!
