    Review:

    Each book in this delightful series brings much to offer to each reader, depending on what they are looking for. If You Love Me So Much touches on the topic of understanding. How can a parent love you if you have to do things that you don't want to do like brushing your teeth, doing your homework, or chores? Readers will soon understand that it is because a parent loves you so much that they have you do those things, to not only take care of yourself, but to help you grow.

    In the story Under The Tree a boy thinks that he is lost only to find out that he is exactly where he's supposed to be. Children, at times, get confused and don't understand the bigger picture that is set before them. Children will be able to learn how to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective. When they do, everything becomes clear.

    With You Always is a story about loss. It is hard enough for an adult to understand the loss of a loved one, but for a child, it is most difficult to understand. This story is one that readers should read to their child when the loss of a loved one occurs. It is a tear jerker, especially in the end, but it does help a child understand that a loved one who dies is never really gone, they are always with us in our hearts.  

    Danielle has created this amazing series for children of all ages, to help them understand various problems that can occur during their life. Parents will love the extra information in the back of each book to help the parent discuss the topic more completely.

    Review:

    Santa's Sugar is a sweet tale about a boy named, Nugget, who had a hard time finding his place in Santa's Workshop where he fit in. It wasn't until Mrs. Claus gave Santa a sugary white cat for Christmas that Nugget found his calling. Santa appointed him in charge of taking care of Sugar. It was a big responsibility and Nugget, as well as others, doubted that he could do it, but Nugget proved how good of a caretaker he could be. It wasn't until Christmas, a year later, when Nugget became distracted, that he had made a terrible mistake and now Sugar could be in danger because of it.

    This wonderfully illustrated 51 page picture book, is a great story readers of all ages will learn from and appreciate. Everyone makes mistakes and Nugget learns along with Santa that mistakes in life are made, but it takes much courage and bravery to try and fix them. Children will adore this story, making it their new favorite around the holiday season.

    Have you ever contemplated the question: why do we have arm pits? From the curious mind of an inquisitive little boy; a complex question arises. As he is certain of the function of his other various limbs and body parts, he looks to his mother to give him a logical explanation for the purpose of arm pits.
