I love Palm Sunday in Saipan. People gather on the steps of the church to have their palms blessed, and then join an informal procession into the church, with the palm branches waving gaily. Some of the palms are plain, fluttering as if they were still attached to the trees they came from.

I love Palm Sunday in Saipan. People gather on the steps of the church to have their palms blessed, and then join an informal procession into the church, with the palm branches waving gaily. Some of the palms are plain, fluttering as if they were still attached to the trees they came from.
Some are woven into intricate patterns and designs, like birds or flowers.
Some are looped into heart-shapes or folded into lightning-rod zig-zags.
The ritual helps me envision a man's ride on a donkey through dusty lanes to the cheers of a faithful crowd.

Cloudscome (A Wrung Sponge) has brought an idea whose time has come into the kidslitosphere. (Original idea from a blog called overwhelmedwithjoy.)
Here are the details. I must admit upfront that I've changed the original rules to fit with the kidlit book world. (Changes to the rules are in red print.)
1) Once a month I'll pick a book (or two) to give away to one (or two) lucky reader(s) (you don't have to have a blog to enter). It may be a book that I've purchased new or used, or it may be an ARC or a review copy of a book I've recently reviewed. (If you receive an ARC from me, please don't sell it online after you've read it.)
2) Details on how you can enter to win will be listed below.
3) I took out rule #3, because I want people who don't maintain blogs to play. However, please feel free to pay forward the same book after you've read it on your own blog if you do keep one.
4) If you're really motivated and want to host your own "Pay It Forward" giveaway at any time, feel free to grab the button above to use on your own blog. Just let her know so she can publish a post plugging your giveaway and directing readers your way!
Let's get some books zipping about the kidlit book world. Each month I'll pick 1-2 titles, Middle Grade or Young Adult, I think are outstanding. To kick off this month's contest, I'm offering two different books. Be sure to mention in the comments which you'd prefer. They are:
1. The Puzzling World of Winston Breen, by Eric Berlin. (ARC) I really enjoyed this book and just posted my review today.
2. Gennifer Chodlenko's newest book If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period. I'll be posting a review of this one over the weekend, but let me just tell you now that this is a book you can't put down.
Both books have a September 2007 publication date.
I'll hold a drawing on Monday, August 13.

Lovely picture Frances. I especially like the little ladybug at the bottom.
Actually, in its simplicity, its quite moving.
Thank you Barry. The ladybugs having been finding their way into the house ever since the warm days started earlier this month. I've rescued a couple from the cat just in time.
Turns out the ladybug is a symbol for Our Lady, the red wings representing her cloak, and the black spots her joys and sorrows. Who knew?
I did not know that about the ladybird or ladybugs as you call them.
Your lovely painting reminds me of Cicely Mary Barker of Flower Fairy fame, she illustrated some religious subjects for children.
