This year's book fair at the school
was a little more interesting than last year's.
We did the annual "creating-your-own-book" and the whole display.
As you can see, my class' book-creation theme was Kamishibai.
Kamishibai literally means paper-theater in Japanese ...
it was an interesting way of storytelling.

Candy-sellers, known as the kamishibai men,
used to go riding their bikes throughout the streets of Japan
clapping wooden sticks called hyoshigi.
Those kids who could afford to buy candies from him
got to sit close up to the "stage" where
they could see the illustration cards
as the wonderful stories were being told.
This was common from the 1020's to the 1950's.
It suddenly disappeared as TV gained more popularity.
Nowadays, the Kamishibai stories are found in manga and anime.

Well... the cool part of the book fair was that we had a guest-speaker.
The speaker was Claudia Riecken, a mother of one of my students.
The little moment she shared with the students was great
... helping them understand what resilience means and

encouraging them to always bring out the good characters traits
Then there's me ...
literally getting into the books.
... with the girls and with the boys ...
These kids are great!!
