This book references creativity and the spirit of play in our communities. The text is inspired by a day that my nieces filled a dry erase markerboard with their description of the joyful sounds of the process. I titled it Picnicking since my grandfather knew that my sisters and I were strong spellers and would ask us to spell all of the trickiest words he could think of every time we saw him. He would always be so proud when we spelled them correctly, even though he asked us so often that we had memorized his list.
