These kind of videos could be quite handy for people stuck at home in quarantine right now, or with children from schools that have shut down. A lot of writers, illustrators and publishers have lots of activities and free resources they've made for their websites, but it's often difficult to get the word out about what's available. I've tried to start a social media hashtag \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/FreeBookResources?src=hashtag_click&f=live\">#FreeBookResources\u003C/a> (with moderate succcess); it would be great if parents and teachers could get an overarching view of their options. In the meantime, I have \u003Ca href=\"https://jabberworks.co.uk/books/\">lots of activity sheets on my website\u003C/a>, and people of all ages are welcome to jump into the Twitter \u003Ca href=\"http://www.jabberworks.co.uk/virtual-studio/\">@StudioTeaBreak drawing challenges\u003C/a>. I dare you to use some of these challenges to inspire your own new games and stories!","2020-03-13T22:50:00.000Z","picture-book-club-its-grumpycorn-time",[],"picture book club: it's grumpycorn time!",1776628730508]
