Veronika und ich haben mit Dem Haus mit den sieben Giebeln angefangen. Ich war vor vielen Jahren einmal dort, noch bevor ich verheiratet war. Es ist schön, mit einer meiner Töchter dieses Buch zusammen zu lesen.
And our picture book (paid link) of the day was about Evelyn Glennie: What a fascinating story about a deaf girl and her love of music.
Unser Bilderbuch nach dem Mittagessen war die faszinierende Lebensgeschichte der tauben Musikerin Evelyn Glennie.
Evelyn Glennie is just brill 🙂. We watched a documentary about here many years ago at the start of her popularity x
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what she has accomplished. I had never heard of her before.
DeleteSo true about being awake :) and I have so many wonderful memories of particular books I've read through very hot summer days (one of them being the first book of the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula Le Guin. And thanks for including the video with. Evelyn Glennie. I had never heard of her before either . . my local branch has the book you posted.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we sometimes remember books we read in connection to certain situations or times of year. I have never read that trilogy, but maybe some of my girls have. I had not heard of Evelyn Glennie either. Sometimes children's books can open new worlds not just to children, but also to adults.
DeleteYes, that's why I've enjoyed learning with my children so much :) xoxo
DeleteIt is very enriching, isn't it?
DeleteYes :)
