Today is Crayons Day 🖍️
…and this book felt like the perfect one to share 💙

Red: A Crayon’s Story by Michael Hall may look simple…
but it tells such a powerful story.

Red is labelled as “red”…
but no matter how hard he tries, he just can’t be.

Everyone tries to help.
Everyone has advice.
But nothing works…

Until one moment changes everything 💙

✨ A story about identity
✨ About being misunderstood
✨ And about discovering who you really are

I love how this book shows that sometimes…
we’re not wrong — just seen the wrong way.

🖍️ Perfect for Crayons Day and for starting meaningful conversations with children.

👉 I’ve also shared in stories a reel from last year with more crayon-themed books (before I had this one! 😉)

💬 Have you ever felt misunderstood? I’d love to hear

✨ Two beautiful ways to explore nature 🍃

Not all nature books feel the same…

🌿 A Moment in Nature by Clare Beaton
A gentle introduction to nature
With simple text, labelled objects, and beautiful collage illustrations
Great for building vocabulary and early curiosity

🍂 A Year in Nature by René Mettler
A detailed journey through the seasons — with so much to discover (and a beautiful fold-out surprises 🤍)
Perfect for slightly older children who love to explore and learn

Both are calm, beautiful… just made for different stages 💛

🍃 Which one would your child enjoy more —
discovering every detail… or learning new words through nature?

Happy World Bear Day 🐻✨

We’re going on a bear hunt… and this felt like the perfect story to share today 🤎

Perfect for making reading more interactive, whether at home or in the classroom.

• you want a story they’ll ask for every day

Which would your child enjoy more… the story or the activities? 🐾

🥧 Happy Pi Day!

Today felt like the perfect day to share The Humble Pie by Jory John — a very fitting book for Pi Day! (Pie… Pi… you see what I did there? 😄)

Pie is… well… very humble. He prefers to stay in the background and let others shine. But when he is paired with his friend Jake the Cake for a school project, he slowly learns that sometimes it’s okay to step forward and let your voice be heard.

This funny and sweet story is full of the clever wordplay and expressive illustrations that make the Food Group books so popular with kids.

👉 Swipe to peek inside the book
👉 On the last slide you can see many other titles from this deliciously funny series.

🥧 And now I’m curious…
Do you prefer pie or cake?
