Much love to you dear Christy, for sharing your talent here on Kids’ Month. This poem is truly inspired, and you are a hero to me. I also thank you (and Aquileana) for making me aware of “Let Girls Learn”. It is one of the charities I am supporting here,on KM!
Cash Akoza has taken First Nations style art to a new horizon.
In an older, drab area of Winnipeg, Cash has added color and theme & brightened it up for all the kids who live there.
There are 5 painted walls, all in small area between a street and an alley. It’s a place where a lot of kids live. This one of the walls.
Click on the above pic to see the mural in all its glory, and it is glorious!

I sent a book in!
This is a colorful & educational mural about the Philippines!
The traditional costume is very beautiful.
The happiness is beautiful.
Click on the pic below and see the entire mural.
This mural even has a map,
..and a doll, which could possibly be King Philip of Spain. If anyone knows for sure, I would love to be educated!

Owls are amazing creatures that go to work under the colors of night.
I found this painted owl on the side of a tiny building in Winnipeg.
Cindy Knoke found a real life owl at “The Living Coast Discovery Center in The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. It’s amazingly gorgeous, and if you click on Cindy’s photo of the owl, you will get to see an entire post filled with this beauty!
My painted owl is very pretty, and lovely to look at. However, when I look at Cindy’s owl, I want to hold it and kiss it and hug it and love it.
A big “thank you” to Cindy Knoke, a fave blogger of mine. She takes fabulous photographs, and shares them with us. Her blog is visually gorgeous and educational. She has joined with me to help make this wonderful Owl Art post into more than just another pretty face. It now has a beautiful soul.

Kids’ Month 2017

OR: Click on her name and go to her FaceBook page, where she is also working on the campaign.
Last year, at this time, I hosted Kids’ Month.
When Sherrie & I found this mural at a Community Center in Winnipeg, I knew there would be a second Kids’ Month.
What I love about this mural is that kids helped to paint it.
Take a sec to blow up the pic below, & really see the complete mural.
This year Kids’ Month will be more inclusive than just street art.
There will be poetry in combo with street art & original artwork by fellow bloggers. I’ve got some educational posts planned, in conjunction with street art.
I’ll be reblogging some reviews of Kids’ books & a special reblog about Puffins.
Today I bought a picture book for Michele Eastman’s “Picture Book Pass It On” drive.
I’ll be sending it through ground mail. It will be a small investment, that I believe will do a big good.
This is going to be one fun month!

Here is the book I bought!
All Charities are not Created Equal! It’s easy enough to research & find the good guys. Here are a few I respect, after doing some research.
Canadian Big Brothers and Sisters scored 4 stars or an “A” rating from various groups.
President Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let Girls Learn.
A society free from sexual and other forms of exploitation against children and women. Anuradha Koirala, founder of Maiti Nepal was a CNN Hero in 2011. A visit to the site is only for the strong of heart.
Helps more than children, but they help a lot of children They have 4 star ratings, and one website gave World Vision Canada a “B”
What? Bleu is French. Koala is English.
Yes, and Canada has 2 official languages, French & English.
What’s your point?
My point is that during “Kids’ Month” we should educate!
Yowzer! Did you know even grumpy Koalas love “Kids’ Month”! Okay, as a grumpy Koala, I want to say, stay tuned for “Kids’ Month”!

March is Kids’ Month on GLaM.
It all began last year… on Ste J’s Bookmust blog when he reblogged a piece about
Michelle Eastman Books. Michele hosts a Picture book drive, “Picture Book Pass It On” every year in March to collect picture books for children with incarcerated parents. She has started early this year on Michele Eastman Books on FaceBook
