for the book: The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street
There were so many heartwarming quotes to share in this book, that we had to put them to paper. One of our mommas created these bookmarks and laminated them for the kids. We passed them out and before we began the book discussion had each kid read their quote to the group. Below are printable bookmarks with our favorite Vanderbeeker quotes.
Castleman Bakery Bags
The tight knit community in this book comes with a lot of perks. One of those being friends with the neighborhood bakery owners, the Castlemans. We couldn’t miss the opportunity to share this perk in real life with bakery bags packed full of pastries! The best part is when the kids get involved in bringing it to life. One of our own kiddos drew this bakery logo, and it was a family affair seeing as there was an assembly line of drawing, cutting and gluing to make these cute bags.
