Absolutely Adorable

Engaging text with a great message for children. Probably every child has, at one time or another, felt that his parents are just not as cool as those of another. Following a "the grass is always greener..." theme the author takes the reader on a journey through the eyes of Rafferty Fox. Fortunately the theme of "there's no place like home" wins in the end. Well illustrated. I recently met the author at a teaching conference. She is an enthusiastic speaker/teacher/writer/parent who has a wonderful ability to incorporate all the elements needed in a good piece of children's fiction. Don't miss this one.

You'll want to be a "Moon Sandwich Mom", too!

This is a wonderful children's book that moms will love, too. It brought a tear to my eye and made me realize again how much the small things we do for our children, like cutting a sandwich into a moon shape, really matter to them. This would make a great Mother's Day gift if wrapped in a basket with a moon-shaped cookie cutter!
