THE BRUNCH SHIFT by Adrienne Thurman @adriennethurman illustrated by Mags DeRoma @magsderoma The sun is starting to rise and a little girl and her Mama are headed off to the diner where Mama works. Mama does everything she can to invoke the imagination of the girl while she waits for her. They try catching art thieves before they strike again. They picture themselves in a bountiful creek while washing dishes. However, as the day goes on the girl imagines herself like the other families at the diner. She wants a morning on the couch. She wants an afternoon at the park. She wants somebody else’s Saturday. This is a heartwarming story about the power of imagination, and an ode to parents who still find the energy to create magic in their children’s lives. @randomhousestudio These books pair well with The Paper Kingdom by @helenakurhee and Last Stop on Market Street by @mattdelapena

THE BRUNCH SHIFT…Imagination to the rescue! What happens when a long day at her mama’s workplace feels nothing like an ordinary day? As girl spends every Saturday with mama at the diner where her mother tries her best to transform workday moments into imaginative adventures. Their bus ride becomes a quest to rescue a dragon, and even the most ordinary parts of the day are filled with make-believe. But beneath the fun are real feelings, too. As the hours stretch on, the girl’s words and facial expression show readers that sitting and waiting can be boring and a long day is exhausting. @adriennethurman @magsderoma @randomhousestudio @randomhousekids Extend the Read-Aloud Experience: 📚Infer Characters’ Feelings: Study facial expressions, body language, and details in the illustrations. 📚Consider Point of View: Discuss how the story would be different if told from mama’s point of view instead of the girl’s. 📚Share and Compare with The Paper Kingdom by @helenakurhee @pascalcampionart P.S. Thanks to @peterhreynolds @thedotcentral for my favorite “Retired-ish” shirt!! #readalouds
