I try to have several book brunches during the year...each book brunch has its own theme. One winter, the theme was "Books that Warm the Heart". The students chose books that touched them personally in some way to share. They read excerpts and gave book talks while sipping hot chocolate and enjoying cookies. The parents loved to see their children (especially the boys) so engaged and having natural conversations about reading.
