Good morning, Clinton Thunderbirds! 🙂

One of the most circulated books in our Clinton Library is Where’s Waldo! Wouldn’t it be fun to have your own hunt for Waldo and friends at home? Candlewick Press  (the publisher of Where’s Waldo books) has made it possible! Print out your own Waldo Character Sheets to get started. They can be printed with a colour printer or you can print them and colour them yourself.  You could even draw them yourself! Ask an adult to hide them for you or you and your siblings could take turns hiding them for each other. Good luck! That Waldo is a tricky one…;)

Click here to check out some other Where’s Waldo activities such as a word search, colouring page or matching game.

Happy hunting!

And happy weekend! 🙂

Winner of the 2020 Caldecott Medal (for amazing illustrations)
A 2020 Newbery Honor Book (for a powerful story)
Winner of the 2020 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award (for determination and courage to work together)

That’s a lot of awards! And very well deserved! Do you remember The Undefeated? It was on our library fireplace for quite a while, so I could talk to you all about it.  It was written by Kwame Alexander, one of my favourite poets/authors. If you’re in Intermediate, you might know Kwame for these books…

Kwame writes in verse (poetry) and we will be talking about poetry this month, as April is Poetry Month. Check back on our Library blog to learn more about poetry from Kwame himself. In the meantime, here he is reading/performing The Undefeated.

Enjoy! 🙂
