Does your school celebrate Read Across America Day? It began as a celebration of Dr. Seuss and the way his books inspire kids to read. Originally, the celebration at elementary schools across the country invited children to dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character for a school day. The celebration has evolved to encompass all beloved children's book authors, and kids are invited to simply dress as their favorite book character. We love celebrating this day in our family- because we love wearing costumes, and we love books! This year only second grade and below are dressing up at our school, but my oldest still wanted a chance to put on a costume, so we did a little photo shoot this weekend.
Here's our Anne Shirley, from Anne of Green Gables, making up stories and getting into trouble. I'll share in another post about how I made this dress and pinafore out of a couple of thrifted bedsheets.
And here's my little mouse with his chocolate chip cookie, from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. He's excited to use his chocolate chip cookie pillow for rest time today!
Who is your favorite book character? Have you ever had the chance to dress up like them?
Much love,
The Geeks
