“the name Orpheline symbolizes the different ways we can feel ‘orphaned’ in our lives—bereft of someone or something—and how that drives us to belong to someone and/or want someone to belong to us.” @MademoiselleK8 @2021derfuls #Mermaid #picturebook

I’m celebrating Earth Day by reading aloud the sweet picture book DEAR EARTH... FROM YOUR FRIENDS IN ROOM 5 by author @ErinDealey & illustrated by Luisa Uribe!

This is a heartwarming & inspiring story about how kids can make a BIG difference in helping the Earth, one small act at a time. Whether it’s recycling, planting trees, or turning off the lights, the students in Room 5 show us how to care for our planet with kindness & heart.

DEAR EARTH... FROM YOUR FRIENDS IN ROOM 5 is the perfect story for classrooms, families & Earth lovers of all ages. Happy Earth Day! https://t.co/FdD26RcTCc
