Youngsters ages five through the completion of fifth grade have enjoyed “Oceans of Possibilities” this summer at the Rock Port, Fairfax, and Tarkio libraries. The final session of the Atchison County Library’s 2022 Summer Reading Program will be Thursday, June 30. The Fairfax Library Summer Reading Program students, including Charlie White, Scout Smith, and Everlee Smith, made fish for their arts and crafts during the Tuesday, June 21, session. Tiffanie Gaines and Atchison County Children’s Librarian Otto Brandenburg assist the summer reading children in first and second grades with creating beautiful “stained-glass” jellyfish.

Stason Sundermann and Waylon Blackman paint an ocean scene during summer reading at the Tarkio Library. “Inventive, quirky, gentle, and sweet.Harper Wood decorates a rainbow fish during summer reading at the Tarkio Library. “Readers may find themselves turning the pages as if carried along by a gentle but unstoppable wave.”- Publishers Weekly A good choice for goofy, interactive read-alouds.”- Booklist (starred review) “This positive, upbeat, and comforting bundle is sure to bring smiles. And as the fortune cookie in the last story says, true friends are friends for always. Yes, they argue sometimes (about things as silly as whether they should wear mittens or socks to keep their tentacles warm!), but they are always able to cheer each other up in glum times (such as when Squid wakes from the dream of being a superhero and feels disappointed to be plain old Squid again).
The four tales in this charming picture book show funny moments in the life of best friends Squid and Octopus. For fans of Jon Klassen’s This is Not My Hat and Oliver Jeffers’ This Moose Belongs to Me. An award-winning author presents a delightful picture book about friendship under the sea.
