Hello, I'm Patrick Adams. And I'm Caroline Legere.
And this is Librarians of Littles, a podcast
where we discuss books, give ideas for makerspace
activities, and give tips and tricks for working
in the library with our youngest learners. Today
we will be discussing two of the Texas 2x2 books.
The Texas 2x2 list is a list created each year
by the Texas Library Association. It's a list
of 20 books that are excellent for children between
the ages of two and second grade. And so this
week we've selected two of those books off of
that list and I think we picked some really good
ones. The first book is the book called Lefty,
a story that is not all right. It is published
by Union Square Kids in 2024. And the author
is this guy that I don't I don't know how well
he's going to do. I don't know if his name is
going to get out too often. It's written by a
gentleman named Mo Willems. I don't know if you've
heard of him before. Mo Willems. Yeah, we'll
see if he if he has any longevity in this industry,
we'll see. Also, the illustrator is Dan Santat.
And so the list of awards for this book, this
book is on the Junior Library Guild selection
for 2025. And as stated, it is a Texas two by
two list book for 2025. And so yes, our author
is Mo Willems. Super famous, obviously. He's
an American writer, animator, voice actor, and
children's book author. And the fact that children's
book author is fourth on that list should tell
you something about how successful this gentleman
is. He was born in Illinois, raised in New Orleans,
and graduated from New York University's Tisch
School of the Arts. He started his career as
a writer and animator for Sesame Street. and
he just happened to win six Emmy Awards there.
And from there, his career has exploded. And
because our book is about being left -handed,
we just need to point out that Mo, he's right
-handed. Some of the books that has made Mo Willems
famous include the amazing Elephant and Piggy
series, the Pigeon series, the Nuffle Bunny series.
And then some individual books include Leonardo
the Terrible Monster, Goldilocks and the Three
Dinosaurs. That is not a good idea. And many,
many more. And for illustrator history, Dan Santat
is a Caldecott award -winning artist who grew
up in Southern California and graduated from
the Art Center College of Design. He is the creator
of the animated series, The Replacements. Dan
lives outside of Los Angeles with his wife, two
kids and many, many pets. And you all need to
know, he is a proud lefty. Some of his other
books include, Drawn Together written by Minh
Le, Endlessly Ever After by Laurel Snyder, Lift
by Minh Le, A New Day by Brad Mell. Meltzer.
The Misfit series by Lisa Yee. No More Poems
a Book and Verse That Just Gets Worse by Rhett
Miller. Oh No or How My Science Project Destroyed
the World by Mac Barnett. Dude by Aaron Reynolds.
And Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot series by Dave
Pilkey. Some of the books that he has written
and illustrated are A First Time for Everything,
The Adventures of Beagle the Unimaginary Friend,
and after the fall how Humpty Dumpty got back
up again and many many more. And so this book,
The Summary, it is a brief history of left -handed
people throughout history. It includes the previous
thoughts of being left -handed, some famous people
who were left -handed, and the important message
that no matter whether you are left or right
-handed You are you and that is important. And
this book, I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure
if I was going to actually like this one, not
because like clearly anything that Mo Willems
or Dan Santat does is amazing, but this was just
kind of a, it's kind of a unique book for them
to do. Um, which is a little bit more off the
beaten path than what I'm used to them doing.
And so I was like, I was hesitant when I first
grabbed it off the shelf to look at it. But it's
actually really cute. Always illustrations are
amazing. And then Mo's sense of humor is right
there on the page the entire way through the
book. But it's also just really cool because
they do bring in a lot of the history of like
the attitudes that people had towards left handed
people. And the fact that, you know, there were
left -handed people that were very famous and
were able to do lots of things, but you know
what? Not every left -handed person is gonna
do that. And you know what? Not every right -handed
person is gonna do that either. And so just kind
of like pointing out some of the glaring misconceptions
that were there in history and just kind of like
pointing it out, counterbalanced by right -handedness
and how really, that shouldn't matter. And so
it was just a really cute book. I think that
the characters, the little hands telling the
story and having the conversations will be a
lot of fun for our young readers. I think it's,
I think that that will help keep their attention.
I think that the length of the book and some
of the topic might. Be a little bit harder for
them to necessarily understand this book might
I think The best audience for this book is probably
gonna be like first or second grade That doesn't
mean kinder pre -k and kinder can't enjoy it.
I think it's just maybe aimed at a little bit
older But I think it's really fun. It's really
entertaining the hand puppet characters are silly
The the information in it is awesome. I really
enjoyed it a lot And so I think that I would
give this, if I'm using it with pre -K students,
I think I'd give it a four out of five. If I'm
using it with first and second grade students,
I think five out of five. I think it really just
depends on the audience that it's being used
with and the goals that you have for it. And
so I think it's a solid book. I loved it a lot.
It was like, and again, I don't want to say it's
surprising, but it was, pleasant at how amazing
the book was. I agree with all of those things.
I think with pre -k in general, because their
sense of time isn't there yet, anything with
history is just, it's just not developmentally
appropriate. And that's okay. Everything that
has happened in the past for like, A three or
four year old literally happened yesterday yesterday.
I got up and went to school yesterday. Also,
the dinosaurs existed. And also yesterday, George
Washington was president. All these things happened
just yesterday. Like that's when it happened.
And same with tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'm also going
to go to school tomorrow. I'm also going to go
grow up and get a job. And tomorrow I'm going
to get married and have my own kids. It's all
happening tomorrow. Like their their sense of
time is just like doesn't It's just not there.
They haven't lived long enough to like really
have a good sense of how long things take and
what, you know, a hundred years ago when people
were discriminated against because of being right
or left handed, like that, that doesn't, it just
doesn't. It's not developmentally appropriate,
not because the book is bad, but because they're
not ready to learn about history yet. And it's
not that you shouldn't teach about history at
all. Just do it knowing that they're not really
gonna get it because literally everything happened
yesterday. Everything. That's just some time
in the past. That's what that word means to them
right now. And that's okay. They're just not
100 % ready for it yet. I also really like this
book and kind of going into that concept because
I think discrimination against left -handed people,
maybe that's the only discrimination that I can
think of off the top of my head that has truly
like is gone from our society in general right
now. I think every other form of discrimination
is probably is still there to some extent, whether
we realize it or not, it's kind of subtly there,
you know, like we don't have slavery anymore,
obviously, but like, there's still, you know,
that kind of the echoes of that are still kind
of present in our culture. And this one with
the discrimination against left handed people
like that was a thing. in a big way in the past
and like the book kind of covers that a bit.
And I just think that's an interesting one to
kind of look at a little bit because that's probably
the only area that I truly think we as a culture
like have overcome completely 100 % and it doesn't
exist anymore. And I think that might be a good
one to kind of learn a little bit about so that
the kids can kind of be aware of like you can
overcome, you know, types of discrimination,
like we can, we can do it and we've got some
work to go, you know, as a culture, like we're
not done yet in other areas by any means. And
this is kind of an, a good way to, um, kind of
teach that a little bit, I guess. Also, have
you seen Mo Willems workshop? Yes. On YouTube?
Yes. I feel like if Mo Willems is on here, we
need to, yeah, that is all. Last year being split
onto campuses and having to teach in full specials
rotation, full time, like halfway through the
year. I like Mo Willems workshop has only been
there for like a year. Yeah. I think like right
now a year and, um, it's newer. And so like halfway
through last year, I found it. And that was like
my lesson plans for the rest of the year. And
it made me happy because I had to do sub plans
all year. long. And it's kind of amazing for
extra extensions for Mo Willems everything. Absolutely.
So cool. And so yeah, a makerspace activity for
this. Since it's about left and right hands,
I thought it would be fun to get paper and some
kind of art utensil, crayons, colored pencils,
markers, whatever, and have the students draw
a self portrait, but have them use their non
-dominant hand. So have the righties use their
left hand, have the lefties use their right hand
to try and draw, just to, for a lot of reasons.
First off, I think it'd be fun to see, I enjoy
seeing students struggle over little things,
because this isn't for grade, this isn't for
like, this in the end is just a fun activity
to try. So like, little struggles like that are
where you get to see a lot of kids kind of push
themselves to move past that. And I think doing
little struggles where they have to think differently
and try something that they know is going to
be hard in simple settings like this, where there's
no like, it's not for a grade, you're not gonna
get in trouble if you're not super successful
with it. Like I think having those safe ways
to let the students struggle is always kind of
fun and kind of cool to see them grow. But I
also think that the images that we get for a
self -portrait when they're using their non -dominant
hand would be amusing to see as well. And I just
think like at the same time, it's also helping
with like that Cross connections and the brain
and the left and right brain and using different
side part halves of your body and all that kind
of stuff or crossing that midline and I just
think all of that ends up being So useful for
our students and so having them do kind of activities
like this where they have to try something with
their non -dominant hand would be Interesting
and so just drawing a self -portrait see what
that comes to would be fun Mm -hmm. I love that
I love it a whole lot. And that's also kind of
a safe way to do it too, because everybody's
doing it at once. So everybody's is going to
look goofy. So nobody's going to be singled out
or anything. For sure. I love it. Yeah. Yeah.
That'd be a really good one. That'd be a whole
lot of fun. And I, you know, that's one of those
ones where I would do it too. And I would make
sure that mine looks pretty terrible to be like,
look, it's not my strong hand. You wouldn't have
to. No, but like, I would be up there just being
like, look, here's mine. I didn't do the best.
It's okay not to have it be perfect. Let the
kids know that it's okay and that it's just one
of those activities to try at. It's a safe place
to struggle. We're all going to be bad at it
together. Let's go. Yeah, I like it. All right,
for our Library of Littles management tip today,
we are going to talk about having parent volunteers
in the library. I have been kind of fortunate
in the past and am again this year with getting
parent volunteers for the past five years that
I've been at Pre -K only campus. And for those
years, I usually, even though it's Pre -K, with
Pre -K it's... harder to get, especially on a
pre -K only campus. Our schools kind of historically
struggled with getting some parent volunteers,
mostly because with pre -K, all of the parents
are, for the most part, I mean, some of the kids
have older siblings, but for the most part, everybody,
including parents, is learning school. for the
very first time. And usually when you're starting
something for the very first time, you don't
really want to add to your responsibilities and
you don't really want to try something brand
new because you're already trying something brand
new with because you're starting this thing for
the first time. So it's a little bit harder to
get parent volunteers for that in general. But
I was always able to get at least a couple. of
parent volunteers, not a ton, but I usually got
a couple that came in to help with book fairs
in particular. Book fairs and we had a couple
of really big school -wide events that I organized
in the past that I got a few parent volunteers
for. And with all of those, the way I got parent
volunteers was... our counselor. She was kind
of amazing, and with Meet the Teacher, she created
a volunteer sign up sheet for all the parents
that went home with the student information packet
that teachers handed out with each class. So
the parents would fill out, if they were interested
in volunteering at the school, the parents would
fill out a sheet with their contact information,
the dates and times they were available, if they
were available regularly or if they just wanted
to be contacted, if there was a special event
or something and kind of things like that. And
then she had a list of events that. she put that
would happen throughout the school year that
we would like parent volunteers for. And if they
checked and Book Fair was one of those things.
And then the other big events that I organized
were also on there. And if they checked those
boxes, then she gave me a copy of their contact
information and I just kept them in a file. And
then when it was time for that event, that was
when I contacted them. And that was a pretty
great way for us to get like school -wide volunteers
to kind of come in and for at that pre -k only
campus we didn't have a PTA or anything because
again because the kids it was pre -k only so
you know the kids are only there for one year
so it wasn't like we had a whole lot of parents
that were you know repeat customers or anything
they would since the parents the kids and parents
were only there for one year it was it wasn't
like we could have like the fifth grade parents
who had been there for a minute and trained the
kindergarten parents who were incoming or anything.
So PTA didn't work, but we were able to do a
few parent volunteers that way. This year, we
didn't have anything school -wide like that.
There is a PTA though. I haven't really been
in contact with the PTA and I don't really know
if they're, You know involved with I'm sure they
are involved with volunteering and I will contact
them when it is time for Big school events to
see if there's anybody additional who wants to
come and volunteer in the library But what I
did instead on my own was at meet the teacher
again this year our specials team which consists
of me the librarian our PE coach our Art and
music teacher and our computer teacher like we
all had our own table like at the front of the
school That had we all had kind of matching all
about me sheets that we just kind of laminated
and put up like as a sign So it was like this
big poster board with like all these kind of
matching sheets or whatever that were like We
made it look all pretty and everything so that
parents could read a little bit about us if they
So desired and they could come chat with us since
we are their children's teachers as well. And
then on that table with all of those things,
I also had just a sheet to sign up for library
volunteers. I haven't really given people, I
didn't put any information out at that night
and I didn't have anybody ask about what specific
events I would need for parent volunteers. But
I did, I was lucky and I got five people to sign
up. for to come volunteer in the library. And
then last week I emailed all of them with just
a blanket. Thank you for, you know, volunteering.
So excited to have you. I would definitely love
regular help with shelving. If anybody can come
on a, you know, consistent, you know, day of
the week or time consistent day or time of the
week, that would be wonderful. Or we've got,
you know, DOT Day is going to come up and we're
going to need help with decorating the school
for that. And we'll have a book fair later in
November that you can volunteer with. And all
of them have emailed me back with two of them
want to do regular shelving. So I'll have a regular
volunteer Fridays during my conference and Mondays
during my conference. to just help with shelving.
And then the other ones are going to come help
decorate the school for dot day, when our art
teacher is going to create or help students create
dots to decorate the school with. And they're
also going to come back for book fair. So I'm
very excited this year. I haven't None of them
have gotten to come into the library yet. That's
going to start actually this coming Monday when
students start returning their library books.
That's when my first volunteer is going to come.
So we'll see how it goes after that. But yeah,
that's how I've gotten my parent volunteers in
the past. And I've I think I've been fairly successful
with it with the demographics that I've had to
work with. And you know, I just I've worked with
uh, families in the past who are lower socioeconomic
status, who maybe work multiple jobs that you
don't typically get as much, um, volunteer with,
but I have been fortunate and I've gotten some.
So that's how I've done it before. I think it'll
work again this year. Yeah. Looking forward to
it. Yeah, that's, that's another area that I
need to work on. I never get a ton, a ton of
volunteers. Um, So I need to, I need to work
on that. I like the idea of having like a signup
sheet right there for me, for like open house
and meet the teacher night and that kind of thing.
I'm going to try that in this year and see if
maybe I can get a couple more volunteers. Cause
I always, the big thing that I need volunteers
for is like helping out with book fair because
being part of the rotation. So running the book
fair while also having a class in the library
is just so challenging. That's hard. So having
at least one extra pair of hands that can like
run the cash register for me while I'm trying
to get 25 kids to do an activity or something.
That's always the big thing. And so I like that
idea. We have our curriculum nights and our meet
the tea, like our open house nights coming up.
So I think having a sign up sheet. to volunteer
for the library is I'm going to try it out. I'm
going to see how that works because I like that
a lot. Yeah, try it. I mean, it can't hurt. Can't
hurt. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. If you get no one,
that's the same as what you got now. Yep. So
for sure. So yeah, going to try it out. Well,
hopefully it'll be successful and I'll get some
help because that would be real nice. Yeah. Let
me know how it goes. Yeah. All right. For the
next book that we're going to talk about that
was on the two by two, it's Go and Get with Rex.
It was published by Penguin Random House in 2024.

David La Rochelle was born and raised in Minnesota.
He graduated from St. Olaf College in 1983. He
wanted to be a cartoonist or an illustrator of
homework cards, but became an elementary school
teacher. A friend convinced him to submit a story
he had written to a local publisher, and his
first book, A Christmas Guest, was published
in 1988. He is the recipient of the Theodore
Seuss Geisel Award, the Sid Fleshman Humor Award,
Multiple Children's Choice Awards, and a four
-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award. David
still visits many classrooms around the Midwest
and the world each year, talking with students
about books, writing, and illustrating. Some
of his other books are The Best Pet of All, illustrated
by Hanako Wakayama, How Martha Saved Her Parents
from Green Beans, illustrated by Mark Fearing,
See the Cat. Three Stories About a Dog, illustrated
by Mike Wanucca. Monster and Son, illustrated
by Joey Chow. It's a Tiger, illustrated by Jeremy
Tankard. The Haunted Hamburger, illustrated by
Paul Maisel. And How to Apologize, illustrated
by Mike Wanucca. I haven't read that one, but
I think I should. That sounds great. I want to
read a book called How to Apologize. Anyway.
And so our illustrator, we're going to refer
to him as Mike, because yeah. Yep, do that. Mike
grew up in Minnesota and always wanted to be
an artist. And a high school art teacher encouraged
him to follow his dream. With this encouragement
and a scholarship, Mike attended the Savannah
College of Art and Design, where he graduated
with a with a BFA in illustration. He has since
illustrated over 30 books and he has written
and illustrated many books as well. So some of
the books that he has illustrated include Davy's
Blue -Eyed Frog written by Patricia Harrison
Easton, Can't Sleep Without Sheep by Susan Leonard
Hill, Hanukkah Bear by Eric A. Kimmel, Stay Close
to Mama by Tony Buzio. That's what we're gonna
say, Buzio. Just Like My Papa by Tony Buzio.
This is Not a Cat by David La Rochelle. See the
Dog, Three Stories About a Cat by David La Rochelle.
And See the Cat, Three Stories About a Dog by
David La Rochelle. Books that he has written
and illustrated include Croc and Turtle. the
bestest friends ever croc and turtle snow fun
ups and downs a book of emotions little puppy
and the green monster the big green monster and
dad's first day um i think these two also have
another book in the see the dog series called
see the ghost And it's about, I really like it
and I forgot about it until right now. I had
it on my order list at my old library and I wasn't
allowed to order it for a very long time, but
I'm going to need to order it now because it
was all about unseen things. It was like, one
was like the wind and one was, it was anyway,
I digress. No, that's cool. It was really cool.
It was all unseen. Yeah. It was a very cool book.
Anyway, I would like to read it again. Anyway,
in this book, an unseen narrator asks a boy,
a girl, and a dog named Rex if they would like
to play a game called Go and Get. After saying
yes, the narrator tells them to go and get things
that start with a specific letter. The boy and
girl both find something obvious every time.
But Rex repeatedly gets things that aren't quite
right at first glance. But then once he explains
it in his little doggie language, I guess, he
only says woof. But he kind of explains to the
narrator like, no, it's right. And kind of the
narrator tells you how it's right. So I loved
this book. I think this this, you know, author
illustrator pair, like they write some really
great, very simple, funny books that I think
really connect really well with the youngest
readers. I especially loved this one because
it's all about alliteration and it's just a really,
really great book to teach all kinds of phonological
awareness skills. It's I think it's exceptionally
engaging because like it has I think the first
one is like go and get something that starts
with the letter F And there's like a frog and
there's a fish and then he goes and gets a duck.
No, it's my friend There you go. So and that's
how it kind of connects to the letter F. So I
think it was just I think it would make kids
laugh it really pulls them in and It's got really
simple, that simple illustration style with the,
you know, mostly white background with just the
pictures on it. Um, or just the very simple pictures
on it. There's no like scenes in the background
or anything. So it's easier for the kids to focus
on whatever the picture is. Um, yeah, this one's
easily a five out of five. I loved it. It's this
pair just has amazing work and it was another,
you know, fantastic book for pre -k kids agreed
i love it i loved how clever the dog was to come
up with unique ways to to find those the letter
sounds and that kind of thing um it was a lot
of fun and i can just i haven't read this book
with my students yet but i'm i'm going to this
year and i can just already hear the conversations
that we can have like, oh, what can you think
of that starts with this letter and let the kids
give some ideas. And then we read and find out
what the characters in the book thought of that
start with that letter and that kind of thing.
And so I think it'll be a very engaging story
and I look forward to using it because like you
said, the story and the pictures, they just work
so well together to be just so much fun for the
students. And so. Being able to have those conversations
in addition with that to make some good Discussions
will be fun. I look forward to using it. I totally
agree five out of five and It it just it takes
a concept. That's really pretty dry, you know
just listing words that start with the same sound
like okay, that's you know, it's I mean, it's
an important skill. It's something that you work
on and pre -k like throughout the whole year
anything to do with letter sounds and Any kind
of phonological awareness skill really like you
you really do that all Year long and it can it
can get kind of boring. So it's a really fresh
new way to kind of make it fun for kids and Get
a little giggle out of them while you're doing
it Yeah, and I think for a makerspace activity
really you could do anything with alliteration
or Phonological awareness you could use this
book as your hook to get them like sucked in
get them engaged and then introduce Really, whatever
you need to teach in the classroom for this one.
I would probably because it's so good with Teaching
phonological awareness, I would probably work
with the teacher and see what they've done in
the classroom so far and if there's any activities
that they think we should pair with it and to
kind of build on what they're already doing in
the classroom. If I wasn't going to talk to the
teacher, I would probably just create a collage
or have kids draw things that start with a specific
letter to work on those phonological skills even
more. If I was going to do this in the classroom
as a teacher, I think I would do this to introduce
a year -long activity where once a week kids
would bring in something small that starts with
whatever letter of the week that we're working
on. In the library, I wouldn't do that in the
library because we don't have enough time for
that and that would like literally be our whole
lesson every time and that's Not something I
would I wouldn't be willing to give up that much
time for that in the library But as a classroom
teacher, I think that's what I would do But as
a librarian, I think I would primarily work with
the teacher and see whatever Just because there
is so much that I know that those pre -k teachers
have to cover with phonological awareness, I
would probably work with them to see whatever
they think is best. But like I said, if I wasn't
gonna do that and I just wanted to do it on my
own, I think I would create a collage of things
that start with a specific letter so that the
kids could still look for things and be thinking
about things that start with a certain letter
and kind of do that work on their own. And as
far as a collage goes, you could either... That
would be something that I think they would need
to do either later of the year where they've
already learned how to use scissors in their
classroom, or you could work on, honestly work
on tearing skills because that's a really good
fine motor skill. Tearing, if you tear paper
the right way, ideally you're only using your
index finger and your thumb, which really is
a good prerequisite skill for using scissors.
I don't know how much you want to do that in
the library cause you don't want them tearing
up too much. But yeah, I think that's what I
would go with if I wasn't going to work with
the teacher. And I think that's a great idea.
I love it. I love the idea of having the kids
practice tearing because after this first full
week of school, I've spent it in the cafeteria
for a lunch duty with some grade levels and the
grade level that I'm in the cafeteria for most
of the time is second grade and the number of
kids who can't use those pointer and thumbs to
tear like chip bags open and stuff like that.
Like that is this I don't and it's not anything
against the kids. I think it's honestly a skill
that isn't practiced nearly as much anymore to
build that that dexterity and the strength in
those fingers. So doing little things Clearly,
if you're tearing little pictures out of magazines
or little paper, it's not using the muscles a
ton, but it is building that dexterity, and it
is using those skills. I just don't think it's
done a lot anymore, and so I think it's a great
thing to do with the younger students, for sure.
I agree. I think in kindergarten now, they just
jump right into, this is how you use a pencil.
That not not saying that shouldn't be done. They
should do that They need to use how to learn
how they need to learn how to use the pencil
But there's other prerequisite skills that come
before that That they're really not addressing
they go straight into this is how you use scissors.
This is how you use Pencil, but there's all those
skills before that that they really actually
should be you learning at home. They're not Because
they're you know, our culture has kind of moved
away from that in general, and parents aren't
working on skills at home. They don't really
know how to work on those skills at home. They
probably don't recognize that that's an important
thing to do. And yeah. So anyway, I agree. I
think those are good skills for us to practice
elsewhere. So yeah. All right. Well, thank you
