Women History

Do you children like to read nonfiction? Hazel does. She always has. I was recently told that they now recommend that kids read 50% nonfiction. How disappointing when you look at the number of books for younger readers that are about women. There are not that many out there. However today I am going to share five nonfiction picture books and one novel that shares a bit about real women in history.  We will start with Brave Jane Austen: Reader, Writer, Author, Rebel by Lisa Pliscou and illustrated by Jen Corace.

It is hard to believe May is almost over. Before it ends I wanted to share another great Asian resource since it is Asian Pacific Heritage Month. I had big plans to do more this month, but life got in the way. 

Crafty Weekends Link Party

It is Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S. and I am spending it with my parents. Instead of crafting I have been helping my mother sort through her fabrics and other craft items, so I am not reviewing or sharing any crafts or craft items. We will go straight to our party this week!!

The Night Knights -- a new picture book for the kids who are scared at night

Disclosure: Abrams Books sent me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. 

Do you have a child who is afraid of the dark or of going to bed? Does he or she think there might be monsters in his or her room? Hazel was this child. She often got afraid to be alone at night and was very afraid of the dark. She has grown out of it mostly, but there are still times when it comes back. However for the younger kids today I am sharing a wonderful new book to help. It is The Night Knights by Gideon Sterer and illustrated by Cory Godbey.
