Those Shoes
Picture book by Maribeth Boelts.
Loved this one about fads, fitting in, and kindness!
Activity idea: Go through your clothes, shoes, and toys and give away what you don’t use.
Young Woman and the Sea
This movie depicts the true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel and beat the men’s record in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and marvelled at Trudy’s dedication despite those men who were determined to stop her. The movie is funny and heartwarming, but also eye-opening in terms of the way women and sports were viewed in the early 1900’s. Note: it briefly shows the bare buttocks of a man who swims nude or in a thong.
