Book Bursts

Find the magic in old pages and turn words into new adventures

Kids will flip through the pages of old books to hunt for inspiring words and phrases, then use their discoveries to spark brand new stories. With each chosen word, a new idea unfolds, leading to wild plots, silly twists and magical lands. Once the stories begin to take shape, kids will bring them to life through drawings. A creative blend of reading, writing and art that turns the ordinary into something full of imagination and surprise.

April Lavine Learn more about me

I’m a singer, ukulele player and a dancer! I also love to play the guitar, write songs and create stories. I recently published a children's book called The Fairy Flurries. I’ve been a homeschool teacher, a Waldorf teacher and camp facilitator as I lead summer camps in my backyard. I love to have fun and be creative!

For the last 20 years of my life I wrote every day in my journal, reflecting on what I did throughout the day. It's like my own special treasure map of memories!
