Books of The Month: June 2026
Freda is devastated when she can’t eat all the delicious blueberries she’s picked. She has to wait a whole year before they’re back, and she doesn’t want to lose them! Then Gran reminds her that they can save blueberries in a jar, as jam. So Freda begins to save all her favorite things. But it turns out that saving everything also means she can’t enjoy anything, and Freda realizes that some things are best saved as memories.
Through a letter written from the teacher’s point of view, the class is invited to reflect back on memories made, connections formed, and challenges met. Students will also leave on that last day knowing that their teacher is cheering them on for all of the exciting things to come in the future.
