Say yes to Yes Day!

Ok, so, I’ll admit it: I’ve become quite the Amy Krouse Rosenthal fangirl. The thing is, when we find fun books by great authors and illustrators, we’ll likely anticipate more good reads.  Yes Day! by Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld is another example of just that!

Yes Day is a day where ” yes” is the answer to life’s little pleasures, such as pizza for breakfast, staying up late and even having a food fight. When every single toy in our home blankets our living room floor and when the wipes container is inexplicably showered all over the couch and when my mischievious toddler starts scaling furniture, undoubtedly, every day feels like “No Day.”  I love the silliness and positivity that echoes throughout this fun read–if only things could be as simple as having a Yes Day every day!

Proper mess means a proper pig

I’ve been enjoying the tweets I’ve been receiving about BookExpo America that’s taking place right now in NYC.  I wanted to attend one of the children’s book and authors events, but since I couldn’t attend, instead, I thought I’d share one of the many books that we enjoy– Little Oink by By Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Jen Corace.

Little Oink is a cute story about a pig who loves to clean.  His parents, however, insist that “in order to be a proper pig, he has to learn to how make a proper mess.”  As a creative type who often had a ‘pigstye’ of my own to clean, I appreciate this role reversal and  and all around lovable book.

Check out the trailer for the book, too! Read More
