My Storytime Kids

So, how can you NOT love your job when you have little ones like these screaming your name out, running to you and jumping into your arms with a big ole hug? This phenomenal brother and sister, along with their mom, come to storytime religiously. They are so appreciative of what we do and offer, constantly bringing cards, flowers, and most of all....love.

I've watched them blossom...from very quiet and shy, barely able to look at me....to these joyous children, singing, dancing, laughing, chattering, hugging.

Truly....I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do.

NEW KIDS BOOKS!!!

NEW ARRIVALS FOR KIDS!!! Available Friday afternoon, October 29 are these new releases, NOT TO BE MISSED!!!

ART & MAX by David Weisner is a new release whose artwork is not to be missed. Click on the link above to get more info and see samples from inside the book. While you are at it, check out Wiesner's other books.

CHICKEN LITTLE by Rebecca Emberley, illustrated by Ed Emberley This brightly colored book retells the wonderful traditional tale of Chicken Little and the "sky is falling!" So many kids today don't know this story and I've made it a personal mission to introduce them to the traditional, classic and folktales that have been handed down over the years.

ZERO by Kathryn Otoshi is a follow up to her enormously popular ONE. Emphasizing numbers and counting, ZERO also helps children to accept who they are in all ways. While you are at it, check out what ONE is all about.
