Wonderful for ages four through seven. Let's get them started early on a road to self-belief and empowerment.

CANTERBERRY TALES

A fun-filled look into a precocious child by critically-acclaimed author, C.P. Hoff

Released and published by Black Crow Books, this book is available worldwide in digital and print across all platforms.

Pull up your knee socks and buckle your pinchy shoes, your childhood is calling. Celia Canterberry, a precocious seven-year-old, hell bent on saving earthworms, is about to drag you down memory lane and remind you what it was like to look at a careworn world with wide-eyed bemusement. Now take a deep breath. Smell that? Nostalgia.

Celia flits through the streets of Happy Valley to her Nan’s chagrin, causing havoc wherever she goes. She’s so infamous, she’s got her own comic strip in the local paper, and Old Lady Griggs, her babysitter, is only too happy to read it with her. But what Celia secretly wants to know is where she came from. You see, Celia was abandoned at the hospital by her should-have-been parents, and her Nan won’t explain how or why…

FREE ebook For CAT LOVERS & YOUNG READERS!

IN HONOR OF INTERNATION CHILDRENS BOOK DAY (April 2)

I wanted to write a book that would make a difference for kids. Something that would encourage a love for reading (which is immensely important to me) while teaching them about the world around them. I selected fun topics I enjoyed, like life on a farm and animal migration, then mixed in tools for becoming more empathic people. I, also, wrote this book for the parents and teachers who are reading with or to the children they care for.

I see no better time to give this book away then when we are celebrating children and the books they love. Therefore, FELINE FASCINATIONS: The Adventures of Boris and Olga is on FREE promotion from April 1st through April 5th, 2021 in honor of International Children's Book day, which is celebrated on April 2, 2021!

DID YOU KNOW - Little Golden Books

GIVING THE GIFT OF READING

#DidYouKnow is a Blog Series on www.jmnorthup.com and www.nornstriad.com

Little Golden Books were first available in 1942. They were the first books published both at an affordable rate and a high-quality, making reading available in households of all economic levels. It opened the doors to literature for children everywhere - a huge step toward world literacy.

Little Golden Books have been a huge influence on me, personally. I grew up enjoying the stories published under this brand. Then, when I had children and grandchildren, I shared the tales with them. The legacy of these simple joys are not just measured in my memories, but in the collective history of planet. These publications changed the book industry because, as historian Leonard S. Marcus was quoted to say, "Little Golden Books are a real example of the democratization of publishing."

I love the Smithsonian (in addition to literature, I love history). One of their branches, the National Museum of American History - Behring Center, has an online exhibit about the Little Golden Books. For those interested, you can check it out here:

I have, also, begun a blog series on both www.nornstriad.com and here - www.jmnorthup.com - using #LittleGoldenBook

Here are some of my favorites from when I was young:
