Have you seen the new B is for Bloomington book?
This is a lovely ABC book about Bloomington, Indiana. It incorporates rhymes by Elisabeth Andrews with photographs from all over Bloomington. Little ones will recognize the bears from the public library as well as photographs of the courthouse, a Bloomington fire truck, and the dog in front of the radio station. Don’t miss this great opportunity to read a sweet book with your little one. You can pick up your copy at the BABS Boutique.
B is for Bloomington was conceptualized by a Leadership Bloomington-Monroe County project team (which included our own Georg’ann Cattelona, pictured here) and was brought to life by Monroe Smart Start and the Community Foundation.
Made possible by the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County, B is for Bloomington encourages readers to explore Bloomington, one letter at a time. Readers will learn about landmarks, public art, exciting places to play, and other distinct features of local culture. And the index is filled with more information about each item and shares ideas for activities that bring the alphabet to life.
Monroe Smart Start is anxious to get this book in the hands and homes of children from low to moderate income families.
Can you help us find potential programs and opportunities within your organization where we can connect with these children as well as their parents or caregivers?
We are particularly interested in opportunities where we also share information about the importance of kindergarten readiness skills and model interactive reading.
Please contact me with any information about your organization highlighting potential dates and times we can visit your site, distribute our children’s book, and connect with your patrons.
