For this week’s book I wanted to share a book that inspired my kids to treat Mother’s Day like A Special Day for Mommy, by Dan Andreasen.

“The Wind May Blow” is a story that can stand on its own to support someone you love. You could even leave it on the pillow of a teenager with a note that simply says, “Love you.”
Rough sketches tell a simple story of love and friendship as the boy and the mole journey into the wild forest together in The Boy, the Mole, the Fox & the Horse by Charlie Mackesy.
As a somewhat peculiar introvert myself, Miss Twiggley’s Tree by Dorothea Warren Fox speaks to me on many levels.
Molly Lou Melon has buck teeth, a croaky voice, and is shorter than every one of her friends. None of that matters though because everyone loves Molly; especially her Grandma! But what happens when Molly has to move and make new friends?
These award-winning books are fabulous and I’m so glad they’re a part of my kids’ library. They make me laugh along with my kids and as a result I look forward to reading all snuggled up with my boys before bedtime.
Teaching moments come in all shapes and sizes. I’m glad Corduroy and Lisa’s story of friendship is part of our family experience.
I’m sure you’ve all seen these recordable books, where you can record someone’s voice reading it and listen to their voice as you follow along. What I hadn’t thought of before, was how these sweet recordable books can really become a treasured keepsake from someone you love and always want to remember.
This is a fabulous book, not only for high school graduates, but for little people to teach them that life will not always be a fairy tale, in a fun way of course. And even for us adults, to remind us that the way life is going is exactly the way it is meant to be with all the glorious pitfalls and victories!
