Celebrate Every Day With Books
It seems like everyday has some new theme to celebrate so I thought it might be fun to see what kind of interesting books I can find (new, old, or coming soon) for an everyday holiday. In fact, most days have more than one holiday!
TODAY
IS
FRIDAY APRIL 10TH 2020
SIBLING DAY
“Siblings Day was created by Claudia Evert. She lost both of her siblings, Alan and Lisette, at an early age. Fittingly, the day takes place on Lisette's birthday. Claudia's goal, and the goal of The Siblings Day Foundation, is to make the holiday a true "National" day—one that is a federal holiday just like Mother's Day and Father's Day. ” (from checkiday.com)
Just so you know I have not read most of these but the ones I pick seem the most interesting. You can probably find tons more books for each holiday but I am only going to pick two books for one holiday a day.
Let me know what you think. Do any of them seem interesting to you? Is there another book you think would be a better choice?

What he shows us is a culture where adults remain children, and where children have no desire to become adults - a nation of squabbling siblings.
