It's Hard to Be Five

Book Review
Topic: Growin Up

It's Hard to Be Five is a very detailed book about the responsibilities a five-year-old has. As a five-year-old you have to listen, walk {no more stroller}, sit still and do things that "seem so scary and strange". Jamie Lee Curtis paired up with Laura Cornell once again, who does an amazing job with her illustrations. Together they depict that "fun things are hard" and "some hard things are fun". A great gift for the new 5-year-old.

Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born

Children's Book Review 

Topic: Adoption

Jamie Lee Curtis got it right with this one!  Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born is an awesome book but not for "just another book before bed" kind of book. It's about adoption which isn't very clear when looking at the cover. This sweet story is about a young girl who wants her parents to re-tell her about the night she was born and the journey that they went through to pick her up and get her from her birth mother. 

This book is highly recommended for parents with adopted children, teachers who are working on a curriculum study of families and how they are different {especially if there is an adopted student in the classroom} or for families to use as a tool to explain how another friend/family member is adopted.
