Who could that be?
Oh, that's life! Life happens when you least expect it.
About the Book:
Life offers so much! It's as imperfect as we are and sometime Life will make you sad, but Life also brings joy and laughter. Life takes you on adventures and teaches you how to fix things that go wrong.
Look at Life! Cori Doerrfeld created such an adorable character. Life doesn't come with instructions so you are going to have to figure things out along the way, but that's a big part of the fun.
This book is sweet and an often needed reminder about living life.
Resources and Activities:
This is the second book recently where the main character is a personification of something. The last one was Outside and now you can meet Life. What other words or things could you give "life" too?
We made a video and some really cool stuff for a Fundraiser.
May is birthday month for my sister and me. We get to celebrate the beginning of a new trip around the sun. We love to do things that support good causes so I've added a shop to my website. All proceeds will be donated to Opportunity House, Inc. Watch our video to learn about what we created.

Here are some Bee coloring pages. Created by Cori Doerrfeld.
Get outside and have an adventure. Things may not go perfectly, but that's often where the fun begins.

Write an Acrostic poem using the word Life, Kind, Bee, or any other word that pops into your head.
In this Life, you can Bee anything. I highly recommend that you choose to Bee Kind.
