Very First Words Bedtime

This is the perfect bedtime book for your baby or toddler. The illustrations are vibrant and colorful while the text is simple and short. My one-year-old loves to point to the objects in the pictures and I say the word while pointing to the print. As a board book, it is sturdy and strong, sure to withstand any abuse from tiny hands :)

Books for Boston

As a runner, the bombings at the Boston Marathon last week deeply affected me. When I think about how many times my mother, my husband, and my kids have been waiting for me at the finish line it makes me sick to think, "That could have been them. That could have been us." It's always heartbreaking to witness this kind of tragedy, but this time it seemed personal.

I have been restless since last Monday, trying to figure out what I can do to help. Can I do anything? I don't live anywhere near Boston. I don't personally know anyone who was injured or traumatized by being there when the bombs went off. What can I do?

Here is what I can do. Here is what we can do. We can hold our children a little bit tighter and snuggle with them a little bit longer. We can be a little more patient and a little more kind. We can give to those who need help. We can give to the victims and to their families. We can love and support each other.

My thoughts and prayers are particularly with the Richard family, who lost their eight-year-old son on Monday.

This week I am holding a Book Drive in honor of the victims and their families. 100% of the profits from all book sales through Tuesday, April 30, will be donated to The One Fund, a charity established by Boston officials to help the people most affected by this tragedy.

So do your family a favor. Get your hands on some new books. Snuggle up and read them together. Learn together. Chat about what you read. Life is precious. Honor those in Boston by giving them a helping hand while simultaneously strengthening your own family relationships.

The online Book Event can be accessed here. Enjoy and God bless :)

Wind-Up Tractor Book

Seriously, guys. Seriously. This is one of the most amazing books I have ever seen! It's a book, yes, but it's so interactive that your child will be engaged for hours with it. It has a tractor that winds up and runs along tracks in the book. It also has 30 character pieces that you can stand up along the track. Your child will enjoy listening to you read the stories as he/she sets up the pieces that go along with it. They will also entertain themselves as they use the stand up characters to retell and act out the stories. This is a fabulous book that goes along well with The Complete Book of Farmyard Tales.

This book is also available in the Wind-Up Starter Collection

Busy Bug Book

This is such a cute book! It is the pull-back series so it has a little ladybug on wheels that winds up and whizzes around a track on each page. There is a fun story that follows the track as well as an activity on each page for the child to do. This is a very interactive and engaging book that is a must-have for bug-lovers.
