Skateboard Mom
Ages 4-8
"It all started on the day I turned eight..."
Why can't moms get in on the fun? After all, isn't that one of the greatest things about having kids- being able to rediscover what it's like to be a kid yourself? Skateboard Mom is a great read-aloud with fun rhymes. You might expect a sister or brother to race off with your brand new skateboard, but your mom? When an 8 year old boy receives a skateboard as a birthday present, a gleam appears in Mom's eye. Mom puts on quite the show zipping down the sidewalk and performing ollies and spins. We learn from Dad that Mom is the skateboard queen and skated down the aisle at her wedding. The boy must figure something out to get his skateboard back, so he cashes in his piggy bank for a new ride for Mom. However, as Mom and her son begin to skate away, Granny gets that gleam in her eye and takes the board to ride off. Go Granny!

Irene S. Levine declares February 29 "Make Time for Friends Day" in The Huffington Post. Levine, an award-winning freelance journalist and author who writes about health, lifestyles, travel and relationships, is the author of a new book on female friendship coming from Overlook in January 2009. Levine's book (and blog) explores the nature, meaning, and depth of female friendships. While many friendships last a lifetime---others blow up, fall apart or die on the vine. You’ll find a sprinkling of advice for women about how to nurture these vital ties, and how to move beyond the hurt and loss when friendships fail.
