She posts a picture and you need to imagine it as a graphic for a book. You choose the genre and book title, and then write a blurb that might appear on the back of the book.
The blurb should be 150 words or less (not including the title). The genre is wide-open.
Each blogger should include their blurb on their own blog, and link back to this post. Have fun with it. Go to the other posts and comment on the other blurbs. You can do fancy techy things with the photo.
(Join in if you dare...! It sounds like fun! I think this would be a lot of fun to do with students especially since they would be expected to write 150 words or less!)
For the Birds
Mary wouldn’t talk. She wouldn’t talk to anyone because she felt like no one understood her. She also felt like she sounded stupid when she tried to say anything. She felt like she couldn’t communicate with anyone…until she found another way.
One day, she made a toucan out of her hand. It almost looked real! Tilly the Toucan could share her feelings and was comfortable talking with others. On her other hand was Milly the Macaw who like to have conversations too.
With Milly and Tilly, Mary could talk to anyone about anything. But without them, she was silent.
Then one day, Mary met Brad. She wanted so much for Brad to see her as herself and not as Milly and Tilly. Would Mary be able to put Milly and Tilly in the past? Would she be able to have a real relationship with Brad? (145 words)

i love the idea of her talking to herself with both hands. And their names.
