Encouraging children to read at home is critical to them developing both into strong readers and succeeding at school. Remember, you are sending an important message to your child that reading is both a pleasure and a necessity.

Heather Feldstein: Summer-Themed Children's Books: Blackouts and Gardens!

Reading summertime-themed books is a great way to allow our children to enjoy summer in a bit of a different way. A picture book about power outages, a summer heat wave occurrence, can shed some positive light for us and our kids on the brighter side of a blackout.

It looks like a beautiful book, with an interesting perspective including White House gardens of yesteryear as well as Mrs. Obama's garden. I was drawn to the illustrations I saw, and wish these authors good success. There is room for two books on the White House garden, and probably many more. This one appears to be quite well done.
