🖍️ Library Girl Reading Challenges: September

Just for fun, I’ve started creating monthly reading challenges for readers of all ages. Here's the one for September!

This month, I wanted to craft the reading challenges themselves in a way that would make sci-fi readers very happy, without (I hope!) alienating other readers. My first idea was to fill the page with planets, but I ultimately decided on a robot. I'll be honest, I love the way it turned out!

As a reminder, back in January, I decided to create monthly "reading challenges" that:

• focus on authentic reasons for reading (instead of having kids log page numbers, etc), and...

• couple reading with coloring BECAUSE both reading and coloring are proven stress relievers - and I feel like we all could use a bit less stress right now.

 You can download this resource, and all the other month's challenges, here.

Finally, I've gotten some questions about how I create these. I use a combination of the following tools to create the monthly book challenge (and the book related) coloring sheets I share. Each coloring sheet takes me between 4-10 hours to create. (I'm slow).

• Canva

• MS Designer

• Gimp: GNU Photo Editor

• My own drawings (created using Procreate on my iPad)

Happy reading and coloring!
