What’s your wish for Mother’s Day?
Did you know Mother stands for the following: Magnificent, Outstanding, Tender, Honorable, Extraordinary and Remarkable. Although I am sure if you took a look at the letters that you might be able to come up with something different. If you asked me about David’s mom and my mom this definition fits them to a T.
How are you doing this morning? I am fine just busy as always. Although I still try and make time to read with Charlie because reading is essential, so I thought I would remind you “MOMS are special.” You are special.”
Even though my mom isn’t here, she is unique and I miss her so much. I thought I would ask you. What’s your wish for Mother’s Day? I would like to ask you to share it with your community using the hashtag: #MOMents?
You will see me sharing my special #MOMents soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these new children’s books brought to you from Educents. And I would like to know if you and your children have read any of these storybooks? If so which ones and what did you think of them? Which ones would you like to purchase and why?
Product Description
What’s the best way to sleep-upside down, on one leg, or in your very own bed?
Sometimes it feels almost impossible to fall asleep. So, when a little girl insists that she just cannot sleep, her mother tells her how all of the animals in the world go to sleep. But each animal sleeps differently, as the little girl finds out: leopards sleep in trees; storks sleep standing on only one leg; fish sleep with their eyes open; bats hang upside down while they sleep; ducks sleep in large groups; and so forth. But what is the best way for children to sleep? Perhaps if the little girl tries out all the ways animals sleep, she’ll find the perfect way for her-which may just be her bed, after all!
Mama, I Can’t Sleep is a delightful goodnight book from the picture-book dream team of Brigitte Raab and Manuela Olten. Original, amusing, and brimming with fun animal knowledge, this is sure to help any reluctant child-who would much rather sleep with Mom, and Dad-to discovers that, just like the animals, children have their special way of falling fast asleep. This book is the perfect gift for new parents or anyone living with young children.
