After fourteen years of blogging about books, I am stepping back from weekly posts. As I come across books that are extra special, I will publish new posts to highlight them.

Angels on Your Side: When You’re Feeling Scared – Marty Machowski
Books by Mary Machowski are always enjoyed at our house. Angels on Your Side is a beautiful picture book that helps lessen feelings of fear by exploring God’s love and protection for His children. This one is a winner!
While this complimentary book was provided for review by New Growth Press, no other compensation was given. All remarks are my personal and honest opinions.

Only One You – Linda Kranz

This little gem of a book would make a lovely graduation gift. Only One You highlights the parental advice given to Adri the fish who is about to venture out on his own. Beautiful illustrations and deceptively simply text provide the reader with a profound message of self acceptance, encouragement, and the charge to make the world a better place. This is a new favorite!

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is just plain fun. The pictures command the reader’s attention and delight with the use of bright colors and whimsical images. The tale of the mouse who seems to always have yet another request is a great tool to teach cause and effect as well as a highly enjoyable story for young and old alike.

Goodnight Already! – John Jory
Goodnight Already! is a delightful story featuring two friends – bear and duck. Bear is tired and more than ready for bed, but duck is wide away and eager to spend time with bear which leads to a silly story that young readers will enjoy. The bright, colorful illustrations which feature engaging details enhance this fun story.
