I recently did a search for books that had "humor and depth." I found this list, and it includes a wide variety of categories. Some books you or your children may have read; there are plenty to explore, though.
NPR Book List
Also, Ms. Chu's site is always good to check out!
In this oddly framed video, animals are taking to the streets, plazas, playgrounds, beaches, etc. as those spaces are much emptier than usual. It's cute. (the clips in this vid were fact checked and are post-lock down, I believe.)
I also found an article about it from a few weeks ago!
*MY FAV - Cat Week Tonight with Jon Oliver
(Warning - there is one curse word at 52 seconds so you can skip that part.) From about 1:45 to the end in the video is the best part!
Penguins Meet Beluga Whales
Penguins at the Mystic Aquarium (short funky vid)
This longer video about penguins came on after that.

Universal Rabbit Hole
Want to go down a quantum rabbit hole? Start googling Neil DeGrasse Tyson. So many good interviews!!
NPR Tiny Desk Concerts!
Tiny Desk Concerts are great to explore - such a diverse array of talent that can lift your spirits.
This one is Los Hacheros, forwarded to me by a friend.
AND, I just found one of Mariachi Flor De Toloache, who have collaborated with and played for CS!
Finally, I know that weather has been a bit unusual in the North East; perhaps this will sooth your soul...
No Te Va Gustar· - Llueve Tranquilo (desde casa)
I came across this recently and I appreciated the varied perspectives and the artful compositions.
You've got to move it-move it... Te gusta mueve mueve! 🏽

We’re bringing art from our home to yours. We have rounded up some of our favorite drawing, collage, audio, and movement activities inspired by artworks in MoMA’s collection. We hope these art-making prompts can provide a spark of creativity while we continue to “museum from home.”
You asked, we answered! Starting next week, we’re bringing our galleries to you with Virtual Views. Get ready for exclusive access to Donald Judd’s revolutionary sculptures, Dorothea Lange’s impactful photographs, intimate home movies, and more. Every weekend, we’ll take you inside an exhibition or a favorite from the collection through video stories and curator Q&As, as well as audio playlists and feature articles.
And our shout-out this week goes to the Brooklyn Public Library, which is offering free virtual activities every day, like book clubs, games, and craft circles.
