The power and the promise found in dreaming is celebrated in Little Happy Dreamer. This book would be wonderful to share with little ones, but it could also be easily used as a read aloud with older students. Beautiful illustrations and an encouraging message for all readers make this one a winner.
Love You by Heart is a delightful book that celebrates unconditional love. This book would be a lovely gift from a parent or grandparent to a child. This one is a winner!
This month I will be featuring books from one of my favorite authors – Peter H. Reynolds. I have shared many of his books in previous posts and have some new ones to share. The first is Our Table. The reader is given a glimpse of what results when one is tethered to a screen. It also shares the connection that is possible when a family shares meal together. This important message is beautifully presented.
Little Oink is another silly tale from Amy Krouse Roshenthal. It features Little Oink who is a very neat and tidy pig. His parents work hard to help Little Oink be a respectable pig who can make a really good mess.
What child wouldn’t delight at the thought of reversing roles and being in charge of bedtime for Mommy? This is a silly book that would make a great bedtime story. It is a delight.
This month I am featuring a few books that are new to me from talented author Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
Yes Day! is a darling book that highlights a single day during the year where the answer to every request is yes. What child could not relate to wanting that kind of day in their own life? Whimsical illustrations enhance the text of this fun tale.
Taste and See: All About God’s Goodness highlights God’s provision in the form of food throughout the Bible. The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautiful – colorful and dramatic. Further support for continued discussion about God’s love is provided in the resource pages at the end of the book.

With summer vacation quickly approaching, I wanted to revisit this favorite. This review was originally posted on August 19, 2016.
Can I Tell You a Secret is a precious book that features a little frog with a big secret – He is scared of the water and cannot swim! This would be a problem for anyone to be sure, but it is a huge problem for a frog. Ultimately, Monty the frog learns that conquering your fears is a lot easier when you have the help of a friend. Can I Tell You a Secret is a darling book that would make a terrific read-aloud.
Mickey and the Dragons is a new favorite. This delightful tale is told in rhyming verse and tackles the importance of overcoming fears. It provides a powerful lesson for little ones as well as readers with more life experience. The illustrations truly enhance the text. This one is a winner!
Using a biblical framework, Chloe and the Closet of Secrets tackles the topic of lying in a manner that children can really see and understand. Every time Chloe tells a lie a fluff appears. At first she is able to hide the fluffs in her closet, but soon the closet is reaching capacity. Further, Chloe is recognizing that lies impact relationships. This book is a terrific means to start a family discussion about the importance of telling the truth.
