5. Alphabet Everywhere

This book has been in my mind ever since I started taking photographs in the '70s. It seemed to be the perfect visual exercise — seeing the everyday environment in a whole new, albeit detailed, way. Though it took me a while to finally approach this particular project, the experience has been tremendously gratifying, but [...]

6. The Rabbits’ Wedding

Eeee! This book will fill you with an endless supply of the warm fuzzies. And, who knew, but when the title was first published in 1958 it was banned! Adorable bunnies equals controversy? Unfortunately, yes. It was banned because it supposedly encouraged interracial marriage. Sigh. Luckily times have changed (sort of), and The Rabbits' Wedding [...]

8. Dream Big Little Pig - A Review

You loved her figure skating now enjoy her newest adventure, Dream Big Little Pig.

Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic athlete, artist, wife, mom and philantropist has now added author to her many accomplishments with this darling picture book.

Poppy the pig has many dreams, (singer, dancer, model) but when her attempts all fail will her family and friends support be enough for her to try once more?

Dream Big Little Pig is a wonderful tale of persistence and determination.  Come take the journey with Poppy as she learns (on a pig's day out) that having fun doing something can sometimes lead to your one true love.

Dream Big Little Pig is illustrated by Tim Bowers.  The artwork is lively and funny (do I see an American Idol reference?).  His pictures will keep your kids engaged and drawn into the story.

If you didn't already know, Kristi started the Always Dream Foundation in 1996 and has been an active fundraiser and supporter of children's charities in the San Francisco Bay Area, sponsoring many events.  Check it out at; http://www.alwaysdream.org/

For more information on Dream Big Little Pig please visit Sourcebooks

This book is also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and wherever books are sold.

9. The Boy Who Changed the World

Everything little thing we do matters...

Just think about that for a moment. Awe-inspiring, isn't it? 

The Boy Who Changed the World by Andy Andrews is a wonderful picture book that will show children that their life matters - even in the little things.

Andrews demonstrates the "Butterfly Effect" using historical figures (George Washington Carver, Norman Borlaug and a host of others) and how simple decisions changed our world forever.

The Boy Who Changed the World is an inspiring and uplifting book that every child should possess.  The beautiful illustrations by Philip Hurst draws you into this wonderful history lesson, bringing the story to life.

Check out Andy Andrews web site at; http://www.andyandrews.com/

The Boy Who Changed the World is available in all major retailers.
