My Little Easter Story by Christina Goodings

3/30/2024
My Little Easter Story is a tale about Jesus Christ and how he lived his life and what he taught to people. This is a short story that you can have your kids listen to so while they are still young they will know that Jesus dying on the cross was for them, for their past, present and future sins. I hope you and your little ones will enjoy this story and remember that on Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ rose from death and that is the FAITH we hold on to. Knowing that our life here on Earth is just temporary and our life with him in Heaven is forever.

Ruby Flew Too by Jonathan Emmett and Rebecca Harry

3/13/2024
As a teacher, often times I meet parents who rave about how their child knows their ABCs or can already count 1-10 at the age of one to one and a half years old. At times that can be amazing to witness but what I tell parents is that each child is unique and them reaching their milestones can vary from one child to the next. That rings true in this story, where a baby duck reaches her milestones in her own time. So, for parents, just enjoy the time and the milestones your child will reach at different stages in their life. I hope you enjoy listening to this story with your little reader!

The Thankful Book by Todd Parr

12/14/2023
What are you 'thankful' for? This is a great read-aloud to listen with your kids and introduce them about the concept of being thankful. Not just being thankful for gifts they receive, but more to be thankful of things like: family, the air they breath, animals around them, another day added to their life and many more! This is one value, that I believe as a teacher, is very important and valuable for kids to learn at an early age.

The Things I Love About Pets by Trace Moroney

11/28/2023
Do you have pets? Well, I do or our family does. We have Beagles! Do you know Snoopy? He is a beagle. Ever since I remember we always had a pet dog. Having a pet is a big responsibility, they are like babies that never grow up. You have to feed them, give them a bath, take them for a walk and clean up after them (when they poop!). But, having a pet like a dog means you have a playmate, a cuddle-buddy when watching a movie and a stress reliever. To parents, there even has been a study that exposure to cats and dogs while a child is in utero or just a few months old was associated with roughly a 14% lower risk of them having a food allergy later on in life. This was published in March by PLOS One study. Hope you enjoy this read-aloud with your kids and maybe (just maybe) the parents would consider having a pet at home :)
