    WASHINGTON CHILDREN’S CHOICE PICTURE BOOK AWARD 2014 ACTIVITY PACKET Bear in Love By: Daniel Pinkwater Illustrated: Will Hillenbrand Synopsis: Bear find something orange and crunchy outside of his cave one morning. Who left it for him? Surely, someone nice. Bear tries to solve this mystery by leaving treats for the someone nice and discovers the meaning of doing kindness for others. (adapted from book flap) Suggested Reading Date: Anytime , Valentine’s Day Activity Descriptions: 1) Bear doesn’t know the word “carrot,” but he describes them. Gather objects and have students use descriptive words to explain them. (extension: place all of the objects on the floor, a student could read their descriptive words and see if others can figure out which object it is!) 2) Similar to Activity 1, Bear’s description of a carrot could be turned into a riddle “what is orange, long and pointy, has green bushy leaves at one end, and is crunchy?” Students could create their own riddles. 3) Compare and contrast Bears and rabbits using a Venn Diagram. You might use additional non-fiction resources (books, animal websites, encyclopedia, etc.) on the two animals to complete this task.

    “You’re gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” Whitehead is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer and NDN glitter princess, Joshua Joshua repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by Joshua Whitehead. Off the rez and trying to find ways to live, love, and survive in the big city, Jonny has one week before he must return to his home—and his former life—to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and heartbreaking recollections of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny’s life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. JONNY APPLESEED HIGHLIGHTS Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams. “Joshua Whitehead redefines what queer Indigenous writing can be in his powerful debut novel. Jonny Appleseed transcends genres of writing to blend the sacred and the sexual into a vital expression of Indigenous desire and love. Reading it is a coming home to bodies, stories, and experiences of queer Indigenous life that has never been so richly and honestly shown before. This book is an honour song to every queer NDN body who has ever lived and it will transform the universe with its beauty and magic.” FROM THE BACKLIST —Gwen Benaway, author of Passage “If we’re lucky, we’ll find one or two books in a lifetime that change the language of story, that manage to illuminate new curves in the flat vessels of old letters and words.

  • Welcome Tofriesens!
    welcome to friesens! While at Friesens, we want your color approval experience to be a pleasant one. While we view every project that enters our plant as important, having you in- house for a Press Check on your project provides a unique, interactive opportu- nity for our employee-owners to better meet and hopefully exceed your highest print expectations. If you are doing a Press Check for the first time, the task may appear to be a daunting one. However, rest assured we’ve done it many, many times and we will use that experience to make it seem like you’ve been doing Press Checks forever. If you're a Press Check 'veteran', we look forward to your input and collaboration. EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION PRESSCHECKSThe key to a smooth Press Check is communication. We will meet with you before your Press Check begins to discuss your particular objectives. We will ask you if you want help from our Press Operators and if you know what is–and what is not –possible on press. Please feel free to ask any questions about terms, procedures and events that you don’t understand. Page sequence, color registration and marks are common concerns. If there are some critical elements of a book that need special attention, be sure to let our operator know. All information you give to us is valuable…so please don’t hold back. If there is more than one person coming to do the Press Check, it is helpful for our operators to have a clear understanding of who will make the final decision, as we all see color a little differently.
