Johnny Appleseed was supposed to get a biographical retelling with fun props, similar to the Columbus Day story .... However, that didn't happen due to timing issues. 

So this post is more of a dump of undeveloped ideas and intentions that you might can work with and build on. 

Characters and visuals made from construction paper were going to be used in the storytelling process, much like in the Columbus Day storytime and a script was written using library materials. 

Here's a copy of my write-up!

Books I used to write this up were.... 

Johnny Appleseed by Marianne Johnston

Who Was Johnny Appleseed by Joan Holub

Johnny Appleseed by Patricia Demuth

Johnny Appleseed: The Story of a Legend by Will Moses

This was a poem/ action rhyme that I wrote. 

My thought for actions was tossing a pretend bag over your shoulder, putting on a hat, walking in place, and pretending to rest then shaking your finger "no". 

Again, severely under-developed, but I wanted to share, nonetheless so my efforts wouldn't be wasted. Y'all get it 😃

 Cleaning up and reorganizing My Documents and my USB and stumbled across this YA display from last September when everyone wanted to storm Area 51.

Notice the prime spots go to one of my favorite YA series, The Xenith Trilogy Chani Lynn Feener. 

Two new alien books that have come out in 2020 are It Came From the Sky by Chelsea Sedoti and Sia Martinez and the Moonlight Beginning of Everything by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland.
