This school year has been such a whirlwind for this mama. My oldest is now in second grade (how did that happen so quickly?) and my youngest is now in full-day Pre-K! It feels like yesterday I was feeding them bottles and rocking them to sleep in the middle of the night. They have shown me how fast time flies and to take time to relish all the small moments in their little bitty lives.
This morning at school was one of those moments that I couldn't help but be so proud and excited for them. Both of their classes attended a book reading from our town's very own Published Author, Jeanna Ganas. Her new
children's book, "BOO" is a
TRUE story about her pre-k class hamster named
"BOO" who escaped in the middle of the night. The story takes readers on the sweetest journey on finding his way back home with a wonderful take-away message to "Never Give Up!" The kids eyes were in awe as they watched and listened to Jeanna's story telling. I don't think the teachers have ever seen an entire Pre-K group sit as still as they did. At the end of the reading Mrs. Jeanna brought a very special guest for the kiddos to pet. They were so excited to get to meet
BOO (in plush form) making this book reading even more special.
When we arrived home, the kids couldn't wait to read their very own signed
copy of "BOO" and it made this mama's heart smile. Boy how wonderful it is that there are so many authors with such huge hearts for children that they dedicate their time and talent to encourage, inspire and imprint beautiful messages that they are able to take and use in their own every day lives. If you are looking to add to your child's book collection,
"BOO" has the most beautiful illustrations that bring the pages to life and the sweetest message for the children to take with them on the forever growing-up journey.
