About The Book Blossoms
The Book Blossoms began in the summer of 2015 when New York City mom and teacher, Sharon Marcus was faced with a dilemma. How would she continue to engage her 7 year old daughter Maya in reading over the summer? Sharon decided to start a small weekly book club in her apartment with Maya's 10 friends. The kids read aloud and wrote in their notebooks, created art projects, choreographed dances and read together in dramatic role play. Suddenly the children were so excited to read books! Since then, The Book Blossoms have become THE place for children to discover their joy of reading through a creative and artistic approach while also building connections and friendships! The Book Blossoms focuses on the whole child by incorporating reading, writing, art, movement and drama. More info at www.thebookblossoms.com
