Happy Harper Thursdays is a Children’s Book written by the author Fern Schumer Chapman and illustrated by Phoebe Chandler Turner. This is a picture book that will help little kids to understand why they can’t see their relatives or loved ones at the time of pandemic.

This is a story of grandmother and grand daughter who used to spend every fifth day of the week together. Since the pandemic has spread, grandmother and grand daughter can’t step out of their houses and therefore they can’t meet and hug each other.

This is a wonderful book that will give kids an idea about the virus and it will tell them to stay at home to be safe. When the virus will go away they can surely meet their loved ones and have fun with them. The story is written and narrated well. Pictures will help kids to get a more clear idea of the situation. A feeling of grandmother and grand daughter has been expressed nicely by the author. Overall I loved this book and recommend parents to make their kids read this one.

Author: Rana Diorio

Illustrated By: Eliza Wheeler

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

What Does It Mean to be Present? is a Children’s Book by the author Rana Diorio and illustrated by Eliza Wheeler. The aim of this book is to teach kids to live in the present without worrying about the past and the future. Many of us worry about past, some of us worry about future, some of us are in the present but lost in daydreaming. So, to be present means listening carefully when someone is speaking.

The practical tips given at the end of the book will help kids to learn how they can be in the present. All you have to do is to focus, be aware and use your senses.

Being present means living in the moment.
It means realizing that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.

This book is written and narrated well. I enjoyed reading this book and it opened my eyes to be present in the moment to live a happier life. The illustrations are beautiful and the cover page is nice. I recommend this book to little kids.

Honeycake A Circle of Trust is the Book 4 of the Honeycake series written by the author Medea Kalantar. It is very important for parents to communicate with their kids and create a circle of trust so kids can communicate freely with them.

Office Pool II: Extraction is the second book in the Office Pool Series. The story continue from where the first part “Office Pool: Orientation” ended. The mission of Arthur and his friends is to search and rescue their mentor Stan Sharply. The interesting thing to wonder is what must have happened to Stanley? Why he is missing? Is he kidnapped by someone?

It was a short and quick read for me. It is not everyone’s cup of tea as the story is written in a witty language instead of writing in a simple language. Narration of the story is smooth and cover page is interesting. I recommend this Office Pool Series to Students.
