When Nora saw that Lila was starting her own summer book club, she wanted to make her own as well! Nora chose one of her favorite beginning chapter books series — The Princess in Black, by Shannon Hale & Dean Hale. Because this book club is for younger children, we decided to make pre-recorded videos instead of having live meetings [Because: have you ever witnessed a bunch of Kindergarteners set loose on a Google Meet? It’s chaos!].

Nora decided that she would make 3 videos — one for the first chapter of each of the first three books. In each video, she reads the first chapter aloud and then demonstrates a craft that goes along with the book. I might be biased, but I think we have a future YouTube star on our hands!

If you have kids ages 4-8 who love the Princess in Black (or who need a beginning chapter book series to get them hooked on reading), check out Nora’s videos!
