There are few things I love more than a good intergenerational story, particularly those that model great relationships between grandparents and grandkids. Zachary Hyman's "The Magician's Secret" (2017), magnificently illustrated by Joe Bluhm, is a new favourite in that genre. Reminiscent at first of the beloved "Song and Dance Man" by Karen Ackerman in that it centers on a grandfather's recounting his adventures during quality time spent with his grandson, this book takes a turn away from realistic-but-entertaining memories and instead veers off into the fantastic. It's a beautiful exploration of imagination and the magic of shared adventures through storytelling. A wonderful, exciting read-aloud. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #themagicianssecret #zacharyhyman #zachhyman #joebluhm #jewishauthors #jewishauthor #magic #grandfathers #grandparentsandgrandkids #intergenerational #intergenerationalstories #adventurestories #picturebooklove #magicofchildhood #storytime #teachergram #booktime #schoollibrary #kidswhoread #picturebooksofinstagram #booksforteachers #lifelongreaders #canadianauthor #canadiankidlit #bluespruce #shiningwillow https://www.instagram.com/p/B4f8SGGnO0m/?igshid=qwbd2vswms4g
