I’m not sure if I’ve ever read about Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen when I was little. I guess I’ve been hiding under a rock because it didn’t occur to me that Frozen was based off this story. This version is way different than Disney’s Frozen for sure, but I can see how they […]
One of my kids’ favorite types of books, when they were little, was books about animals. It’s always so much fun to imagine animals living lives like we do and imagining them talking and dealing with some of the things we do. Animal stories can also be a great way for children to learn social […]
Have you ever wondered what your purpose was in this world? If it’s a question that you’ve asked yourself, imagine how confusing it can be to a child to wonder the same thing. This new book helps address some of these questions in a fun way that kids can relate to. Fluffy the Bird by […]
I’m sure every parent has had the joy of having some kind of childhood memory of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s, The Nutcracker.

A cold, wet weekend gave me the opportunity to sit down and read another new book. I just recently reviewed Paper Paulie by LR Claude so I wanted to see what Village Heights by the same author was like. My Kindle is starting to have a pretty amazing collection of books to read. Village Heights […]
I used to love paper dolls when I was a child. I had a whole folder of them and they had different outfits and accessories. I used to spend hours imagining the adventures they’d go on and what kind of life they would live if they were real. But, what if they really could have […]
