Hannah's Storybook Favorites

-
All of the Storybooks I looked at were so thoughtfully and artistically put together! However, these three specifically captured my attention...

Firstly, Ganesha's Story. This storybook captured my attention because I was already familiar with the story of Ganesha but was curious to learn more. The title did an excellent job of letting me know what this storybook was about. In fact, it was the title that pulled me in and made me want to take a closer look. The introduction was well written. It mentions the different creation stories of Ganesha and eludes to the fact that Ganesha's life was not all peaches and cream making me want to learn more. Overall, I love the design of the page. However, I think that some of the pictures are a little too large and I will keep that in mind when creating my own storybook. Click here for the link to the storybook.

Secondly, the storybook Supernatural Women caught my eye. This captured my attention because I love superhero stories of all kinds. Also, because most superheroes are men it sparked my attention even more. I love the layout of this storybook. The picture on the home page is beautiful and made me even more curious about the women's stories. I also like how the introduction and the other stories featured on the page are easily accessible at the top right of the page. I really enjoyed learning more about the supernatural women on this page. Click here to read the storybook.

Lastly, the third storybook, Music Stories, was about music featured in Indian culture and some of its stories. I play a musical instrument, the flute, so this drew me in because I wanted to learn more about the music of India and how it influenced their culture. I like how the home page of this blog looks, but it is kind of confusing. The titles for the story are just names which does not tell me much about what they are about or make me more interested to read them. The stories were very interesting and I really enjoyed the pictures on the page. Click here to read the storybook.

(Image Information: Personal Image Whitefield Family; Taken by Hannah Whitefield; Photo from May 2019)  Hi everyone! My name is Hannah Whitefield and I am from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. It's a really cool small town about 45 minutes south of here. There are some pretty cool things in Pauls Valley considering it's a small southern town. We have an action figure museum, water park, movie theater, and what I consider the best Mexican restaurant in Oklahoma. I enjoyed growing up in a small town, but I love living in Norman. There are so many more activities to do along with a faster pace which I have found suits my personality better. I work at Ted's Cafe Escondido part-time. I like working as a waitress, though sometimes being in customer service is trying. My co-workers are all very fun to be around which makes my job much better. I am a senior Psychology major which I absolutely love and think that everyone should study at some point. It's just so interesting! I lov

They did not bite him but wrapped around him and pulled him into very deep waters to drown him. The King of the snakes saw what they were doing and commanded them to let the poor human go. The little snakes obey his command and released the man. When Bheem woke up he looked around in awe of what he saw. He was in an underwater castle and was surrounded by snakes and he could breathe under the water. His memory came rushing back to him and he sprang to his feet. He knew that these snakes were a threat and did not plan to be caught by surprise again. "Calm down Bheem. I am Vasuki, King of the Snakes, and they have been commanded not to harm you." "Vasuki? King Vasuki I mean. Thank you so much for sparing my life!" The king threw a feast in honor of Bheem. He had a wonderful time at the feast and
