My mind and body are reeling from the stay-at-home order. Needing a fresh and fun breath from these moments, I relished a childish tinge by reading a children's book and boyyyy, was it fun!
This is just one out of the books in the Origami Yoda series. With cute illustrations sprinkled throughout as well as instructions on creating Star Wars based origami, this book is really uplifting.
With Dwight suspended, McQuarrie Middle School is missing its most famous attendee: origami Yoda. And no Yoda means no case file mystery to solve. But just as Tommy wonders if he'll ever find anything interesting to write about again, something BIG happens. Something BIG and HAIRY.
It's Fortune Wookiee, a paper fortune teller in the form of Chewbacca. Sara brings it to school as a gift from Dwight, and it seems to give advice that's just as good as Yoda's. Mysterious it is!
Tommy, Kellen and Harvey are on the case. And when their classmates start having strange "Dwight Sightings" (sightings of Dwight in which he is Yoda-less and acting WAY too normal), the boys have TWO mysteries to solve. The closer they get, the more possible it seems that origami Yoda will be back...
This book is a good way to enliven children's imagination and instill a love of origami, which is a wonderful art form to learn. A great book to keep the young ones and even the bigger ones (like myself, ehem) occupied and in a happy state. Stay safe, flatten the curve by staying home!
