ZuluThis morning I thought I would share a book that most of us already know…The OK Book! It’s written by one of my favourite authors, Amy Krause Rosenthal. The illustrator, Tom Lichtenheld, does such a great job using the letters ‘OK’ to support the story that Amy is telling about trying all sorts of different things…perhaps making happy mistakes! Like flipping a pancake on your head! 🙂
Just press play to watch the story…
Feel free to watch the story as many times as you’d like and think about what YOU might like to try while you’re safe at home. Perhaps you’d like to bake some cookies or prepare supper. Maybe you want to learn to knit or crochet. Maybe you want to perfect your cartwheel or juggle your soccer ball. So many possibilities! Take this time to set a goal for yourself and maybe even become more than just ‘OK’. 🙂 As Amy says at the end…”Is it just the beginning?”
While you’re thinking about your plans, here’s another challenge! Picture yourself as the OK character in the story and try to draw OK doing what you’ve set as your goal. If you would like to share, I would love to see your illustrations! You can post them in the comments below or send them to my email: pam.hossack@burnabyschools.ca If you’re ‘ok’ with me sharing them with our community, I can post them here, as well. Feel free to also just send what your goal might be…you might give others an idea!
Thanks for sharing, Ms. Hossack! What a great book 🙂
Thank you, Ms Ta! It’s one of our favourites in the library! 🙂
Hello, Mrs. Hossack ,
I really like the ok book. It is really fun to watch the video.
Hope you have a great day.
Love,

Hello, Krystal!
It’s wonderful to hear from you! I hope you and your family are well. 🙂 Thank you for being my very first comment on our library blog…yay!! Are you learning more about dinosaurs during our time at home?
I am reading The Rock and Gem Book at home. I drew a picture of you today. I hope you will like it. My Mom emailed to you today. ♥️
Krystal
I’m so happy you have that one at home with you. I wish I had known we would have so much time to read…we could have emptied the library! 😉 Thank you for your picture…I love it! You made my week!
