Howdy, Super Readers! The school year is winding down, the sun is shining a little longer each day and summertime is calling. Let’s turn those long, easy-breezy days into reading & creative writing adventures together! Scroll down to enjoy a new Kitty & Cat comic and summer-themed reading bingo & activity pages + the full scoop on Super Jane books, seasonal favs and upcoming virtual book events. Yahoo!
The Funnies
Kitty and Cat are back! And ready for the best part of summer: ICE CREAM!
Fun Freebies
Summer reading is the best whether you’re at the beach, in your own backyard or traveling on-the-go! Take the SRC’s Summer Reading Bingo challenge. Then have fun matching deep sea fish, taking the silly Would You Rather quiz, coloring a sandcastle scene and getting creative with my seasonal Story Starter prompt worksheet. Download the full printable activity kit below:
(PS I’d LOVE to see your finished coloring pages & summer stories! Share them on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter & tag me or email them to me at jane@superjane.com! Yay)
Book News
Get ready to giggle, laugh & cheer for cheeky bunny Naked Butt as he and Momma celebrate the importance of being yourself & the rewards of baring it all in my hilarious new picture book, Naked Butt Busts Out, which has officially released and is available in 3 exciting formats:
HARDCOVER • PAPERBACK • E-BOOK
Art News
I’m also excited to share the opening of my new art print shop with inPRNT! My debut prints—Reading is Magic and The Universe is Friendly—are available for purchase as archival prints on paper & canvas as well as art cards and stickers. They would look super fab in a playroom, bedroom, nursery…or really any room looking to radiate happy vibes!
