Random House, Celebrate The Civil Rights Movement Blog Tour & Book Giveaway!!!

Random_House_logo
We are so thrilled to have been asked by Random House to participate in a blog tour to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have A Dream Speech  that he made August 28, 1963.

I-HAVE-A-DREAM_new-cover-with-CSK-seal

From Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s daughter, Dr. Bernice A. King: “My father’s dream continues to live on from generation to generation, and this beautiful and powerful illustrated edition of his world-changing “I Have a Dream” speech brings his inspiring message of freedom, equality, and peace to the youngest among us—those who will one day carry his dream forward for everyone.”

On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Martin Luther King gave one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in our nation’s history. His words, paired with Caldecott Honor winner Kadir Nelson’s magnificent paintings, make for a picture book certain to be treasured by children and adults alike. The themes of equality and freedom for all are not only relevant today, 50 years later, but also provide young readers with an important introduction to our nation’s past.

This book is such a brilliant way for myself and other parents and educators to teach our children about Martin Luther King Jr. and share with them this moving speech that resonates today as much as it did then.  The gorgeous illustrations make this book a true treasure that captures this rich part of our country’s history. There are some great booknotes available to spur group discussion that can be viewed and downloaded HERE.

Random House is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own copy of I Have A Dream.  Thank you Random House for the review book and selecting us to take part in this poignant blog tour!!!  Open to US residents.

Ribbit! by Rodrigo Folgueira, Review & Giveaway!!!

Random_House_logo

Books, Glorious Books!!!  We love them!!!  Sharing books with my kids is very special and bedtime is always a time my husband and I read aloud to them.  A book we recently read was Ribbit! by Rodrigo Folgueira and it was a big hit with a very nice lesson about friends and diversity.

RIBBIT

Ribbit! starts with a mystery of a little pink pig that is sitting on a rock in the frog pond.  No one can figure out why and all the animals really try. At first since all he says is Ribbit! the frogs think maybe he is there to mock them.  In the end it’s determined that the pig is there because he wants to make new friends.  By the time this determination is made, the pig is no longer in the pond but found in a tree sitting and tweeting happily. Soon he is joined by all kinds of new animals friends who are happy to sit together and tweet.

This book shows kids that it doesn’t matter how different we are, we can all be friends.  It’s a great message for kids and a charming book with adorable illustrations by Poly Bernatene.  My son especially loved when the frog was angry and it showed him gnashing a mouthful of white teeth.  We laughed so hard to see a frog with teeth!  Ribbit! is a great book to share with your little ones.

Random House is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!  One lucky blog reader will win their own hardcover copy of  Ribbit!  Thank you to Random House for the review book and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.
