Hey! My name is Lucy and I am excited to have you here on my blog. I believe taking time to help one little child at a time to achieve his/her full potential is never wasted. Connecting with a child early is the best way to build a better tomorrow.

    Lucy, I love your title for this blog! I think in most things doing each thing in your day with intention and love equates to great things happening.

Perspective on Diversity and Culture

  My take away from the definitions of culture and diversity from the people I talked to. They all believe that customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group are linked to culture and diversity. As discussed in this class, culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, and how we behave with loved ones.

The exciting thing about this book is that it makes the characters accessible; made them animals (Bird and Fox) so that anyone could project themselves into those characters. “From her soft kisses and soothing hugs to her tasty tea and warming mug, Bird sweetly expresses her love to Fox, so he knows that no matter how big he gets or where he goes, her love is always with him.” With seductively engaging drawings, debut author-illustrator Christa Pierce creates a comical story that has every reader feeling loved and valued.   3.
