Kids need books they want to read because, then, they will read them. Reading can be encouraged through text selection. Books should resonate with kids' interests and experiences. #readingrocks #KidsBooks #ChildrensBooks #KidsLit #ChildrensLiterature #PictureBooks #ReadAloud

🦚Be comfortable with who you are and express your uniqueness naturally. When you embrace your true self, you'll attract people who appreciate you for who you are, rather than for how well you fit in or stand out.🌟 #backtoschool #Zendayaquote #beyourself #StrumandTheWildTurkeys

If nobody thinks less of a penguin because they can't fly, what happens when a peacock can't fan a perfect plume of feathers? Rock your differences, like Strum sings in the book & video: youtube.com/watch?v=9LIirM… by☀️🥦 #rockyourdifferences #kidsbooks #differentisgood #beyourself

When children talk about their feelings, they learn to identify and understand their emotions. This helps them develop emotional intelligence, which is crucial for managing emotions and developing empathy for others. #worldmentalhealthday #healthykids #wellbeing #fredrogersquote

November 6th is #IReadCanadianDay. Buy or borrow Strum and The Wild Turkeys and/or Strum et les dindons sauvages. This book celebrates inclusion, belonging and self-acceptance in a fun, musical, & uniquely Canadian way, with a Canadian children's duo recording of Strum's song.

I enjoyed visiting this 1st grade class for #PrincipalReadAloud. It’s my way of giving teachers a break and spending time in classrooms. Charles England Elementary School #ThriveInTheHive #blueexit60 Shared books by Noa Daniel & Mo Willems. The Pigeon Lexington City Sch Nakia Hardy Bruce Carroll

Just as Strum learns that his unique plume is worth celebrating 🎉, let’s remember that kindness means accepting ourselves and others just as we are. 🦚 Let's build spaces of self-acceptance and belonging where we lift each other up.🛗 #findyourflock #Beyourself #WorldKindnessDay

Belonging means being part of a group where you feel safe and happy. But to really feel like you belong, you have to be your imperfect self. The more you like yourself, just the way you are, the easier it is to find people who love you for being you. #BeYourself #FindYourFlock 🦚

Strum's look was inspired by Chalamet whose Dylan biopic is almost out. Like the artists, Strum embraces his uniqueness, and people are drawn to his authenticity. All three are archetypes of the outsider who inspire others to see the beauty in difference. #Dylan #Chalamet #Strum
