"Good Night Yoga" - Mariam Gates

I met this author at the American Library Association Convention in San Francisco last summer, I have a signed copy of the book(!), and it's pretty adorable.

As a children's librarian, one of the basic programs we offer is Storytime; I was responsible for the school-age children. Jump topic, I hate dancing in public. Now, most storytimes include a music & movement element. To avoid it, I replaced the dancing with a short yoga sequence that told a story through the poses. (I thought I was clever but whether I was or not, it was a lot of fun!)
