The other day I was thinking about how to explain to my daughter what Martin Luther King Day was about. So I drew a picture book for her. Rather crude, but it will work. I'm going to try to post it on my website tonight in PDF format for anyone else with a toddler. Here's the link:

In my research I stumbled on this link, which includes an audio file of King's famous 1963 speech. It's worth listening to, if you've never actually heard it. What a preacher!

Isabelle Antics
Isabelle's new love is the alphabet. She loves to sing the alphabet song and read alphabet books. She doesn't know her ABCs, she'll mix up similar-sounding (X vs. S) and similar-shaped (B vs. H) letters, but she now knows that the letter after K is not "elemeno."
She is also creative with her alphabet books. She knows that "T" is for "Teaser" (our cat) and P is for "Pizza. For to eat." She also decided, on her own insight, that O is not only for "orange," but also for "Oh fooey!"
