Two [MUST SEE] Things to Share

I'm excited to share two [MUST SEE!] things that I found today...

1. Little Humans Book by Brandon Stanton (from Humans of New York) 

You know I have a slight obsession with Humans of New York. I've blogged about them twice already... here and here. HONY is a part of my daily routine! I absolutely love reading Brandon's daily updates.

The Little Humans book won't be available until October 7, 2014. Which seems like FOREVER! But, I'm loving the fact that this book is, in fact, a children's book! The book is for ages 2 to 7.

Here's what Brandon posted on his blog today:

Pretty much the exact same time we signed a deal for the HONY book, we began working on a HONY kids’ book too. Over the last couple years, it went through a few different concepts and rewrites, until we ended up with the treasure that is LITTLE HUMANS. The final product ended up being a short narrative about what it means to be a little human. On each page there is a kid portrait which illustrates each aspect of little humanity. (Several of the photos have not been posted to the blog, which required a lot of self-restraint, because I especially love the kid posts.) 

Little Humans was so fun to write, I’m really proud of it, and am really excited for everyone to see it. I must also disclose that my girlfriend brought instrumental kid-knowledge to the table, gathered from years of intensive babysitting. 

Amazon has it listed here for pre-order and here's the information that they have listed so far:

Little humans are brave and bold,

creative and curious,

stylish and sweet.

They love their brothers and sisters,

their moms and dads,

and their friends.

Each little human is perfectly unique.

Just like you!

Street photographer and storyteller extraordinaire Brandon Stanton is the creator of the wildly popular blog "Humans of New York." He is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Humans of New York. To create Little Humans, he used some of his favorite children’s photos from the blog, in addition to all-new exclusive portraits. The result is a hip, heartwarming ode to little humans everywhere.

I can't wait to purchase his book and share it with my students!

2. Cancer Dancer 

I saw this video on the news and then saw it on The Ellen Show. Deborah Colin danced in the operating room with nurses and doctors before her double mastectomy surgery. Watch the clip below:
