Cue the Crickets
I am so busy at the moment I need to neglect my blog for a couple weeks. Will talk more about a project I’m working on when it’s more of a reality…and hopefully, possibly, betterbe done.
In the meantime, while the crickets chirp and frolic here, I recommend you check out Gregory K’s blog for a fabulous month of poetry celebrations. Interviews with poets, poems, and more!
Hop on over to http://gottabook.blogspot.com
But come back later this month, okay? Please…

Pink Shirt Day
Today is Pink Shirt Day in Canada. I became aware of this because my kids’ principal is asking the students to wear pink to school, and my kids are all eager to participate. Much easier for the girls than for my son, but I assured him that I have some not-too-girly pink shirts kicking around he can try out.
The story of the day’s origins is quite inspiring. A male student from a high school in Nova Scotia was harassed for wearing a pink shirt. A few days later hundreds of students were wearing pink shirts to school in a show of support and solidarity.
Now isn’t that an inspiring story! What’s your favourite published story or book about overcoming bullying?
