#51– Singing With Your Children Helps Them Learn
Three things every parent can do with their children from birth are talking, reading, and singing. These three things are brain-boosting winners!
#49 — Happy Scents
Observing scents around us enhances the enjoyment and understanding of our world. When we talk to our children about what we are observing, they learn to connect what they are noticing, too. Aromas are connected to memories of our past. What are some of your Happy Scents?
#48 — Real or Make-Believe?
Fact or Fiction? Real or Make-Believe? These are questions we all ponder daily. And, now, with so much technology widely available, it is even more difficult to determine. In our books, we put Real and Make-Believe side-by-side.
#46–Watching for Birds
When I’m at home, and wherever I go I watch for birds. I love to see them, learn about them, and write about them.
#45 — Talking About Friendship
Helping children learn how to develop friendships is something we wanted to do. Our goal was to present ideas about friendship to kids, through the silly antics of these two pelicans, and their conversation with each other.
#44– I’m Bored, What Should I Do?

#42–I like Facebook.
Even though I sometimes hear negative comments about it, I like Facebook.

Pelly is my book companion. Whenever I go out to a book event, Pelly goes with me.
