RTMI team members Dannah and Kayla enjoying their Sunday at the da Shop: Books & Curiosities General Book Club with an amazing group of fellow bookworms. 📚🐛💕

At this meetup, we had discussions (and lots of laughter) centered around Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ.

The next meet up is on Sunday, October 11, at 10:15 AM and we’ll be discussing Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. If you want to join, check out the da Shop website or DM Dannah Barnes and she can get you the details!

It was so nice to see all of our regular toddlers and their older siblings today for Keiki Time at Pearlridge Center

We selected social-emotional learning as the theme, guiding the story through identifying, labeling, and sharing how emotions feel and look like, plus possible ways to cope when experiencing strong feelings.

Coincidentally, it was the last Keiki Time event for some of our longtime attendees because they start their first day of school next week. 🥺 I think we were the ones who needed to hear the books today. 😭😭😭

Executive Director Dannah Barnes curated the reads:
Happy Hippo, Angry Duck by Sandra Boynton
Feel Calm by Andy Pizza and Sophie Miller
The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too! by Mo Willems
I Need A Hug! by Aaron Blabey
Broken by X. Fang

Summertime at Raising Cane’s has truly been such a blessing. In June and July, we dedicated a few hours each weekend for connection, literacy, and fun. What an experience!

Thank you Raising Cane's for your support towards reading aloud!

We’d love to hear from you - in the chat, share what else grounds you, energizes you, or fills your cup each week. 📚🥰
