Earth Day Every Day with these Great Books
Every year, people around the globe celebrate Earth Day. On this day, people often reflect on the environment, what’s happening to it, and how they can make a difference. It’s also a day all about loving the planet and remembering that it’s home to some of the most amazing creatures and places. All that is wonderful, but I think it would be so much better if we had the planet on our mind all the time. I’d love it if every day were Earth Day. That’s why I’m excited about these two Earth Day books I got for the kids from DK. They’re all about the cool, crazy things in…

Embracing Art with DK Canada #Giveaway #ad
Embracing art is a great way to expand our children’s horizons. The arts are an important part of mental stimulation. Participating in the arts or just appreciating them activates different parts of the brain from other forms of education interaction, and it’s really quite beautiful. My oldest daughter is an artist, and she’s always buried in either her sketch pad or an art book. She’s been taking a lot of art courses, so I thought a few books from DK Canada would encourage her love of art and make embracing art a continued part of her daily life. Embracing Art with Great Books from DK Canada If you’ve read my…

Who is your favourite vampire? Are you still crushing on Twilight? Are you team Edward or Team Jacob? Or is that time long past. Vampires are blood-drinking supernatural creatures that were clearly once human. But I happen to think these adorable little vampire kids in this vampire kids coloring book look cuddly, with maybe a tiny little supernatural thrown in. If your kids love to color, or even if they just need something to do here’s a cute little 9 page Vampire Kids Coloring Book.

Empower Kids with These Two Great Books
It’s important to empower kids. As parents and adults in general, it’s our job to help today’s youth grow up to be confident, well-adjusted members of society. One of the ways we do that is to empower kids by nurturing creativity and self esteem. I’m a big believer in this, and recently a couple of books that do just that caught my eye. Empower Kids with Learning and Creativity Although these books are quite different, their outcome is the same. They empower kids to use their minds and teach them that any goal that they set for themselves is achievable. While one book does this in a fairly straightforward fashion…
