My west coast brother will be retiring at the end of July. After that he should have lots more time to research special days for me. Meanwhile he has provided me with this goodie. Today is "Pick Blueberries Day." I did not rush out and pick a bunch of blueberries off bushes somewhere, but I did pick a few out of my stash of frozen blueberries in our freezer. It's like eating delicious little blueberry popsicles.
Meanwhile, thinking about picking blueberries reminded me of one of my all time favorite children's books "Blueberries for Sal" by Robert McCloskey. If you have never read it I urge you to check out a copy from your local library or buy a copy, find a child who will listen, and read it to them. It's full of drama, suspense and danger.
My son loved to be read to from the time he was very young, my daughter not so much. She wanted to be up and moving, but she would sit still for "Blueberries for Sal." I recommend it to all of you who have young children in your lives, and while you're reading you might let them munch on some frozen blueberries.
