Happy World Read Aloud Day! I’m off to celebrate with students at Strathcona Elementary School, with my bag of props in tow. It’s a crazy collection, so I thought I’d share the list of what I generally bring to school presentations:

• several pairs of underwear (and no, they’re not because I pee my pants);
• a pirate coin;
• red stickers to represent blood;
• a cowboy hat;
• a necktie;
• a baseball bat; and,
• more stories than I can possibly tell in one afternoon.

I wish you all a happy day of reading and sharing!
