Bringing the Alphabet to Life
I love alphabet books. During one of my classes in grad school, we spent an entire section of class time studying alphabet books and their importance in children’s literature. I really love seeing how different authors can take the same 26 letters and create such fun and engaging stories with them. So I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to join the blog tour for a new children’s alphabet book with a fun twist.

Put Down the Phones : Enjoying Screen Free Family Time
We are surrounded by technology. I tried to keep my daughter away from it as much as possible when she was a baby, but as soon as she was old enough to walk around and explore the world around her, she found technology. She loves playing with phones and tablets, and she has her favorite TV shows. But it’s so important that we remember to take a technology break once in a while and enjoy some screen free family time. Today’s book serves as a great reminder that sometimes we have to put down the phones and enjoy life!
