Fall 2019 Newsletter - Why Are Scary Stories So Important?
From time to time, parents and even some educators have asked me about reading scary stories with young children. In some cases, they were concerned about how kids might react to a truly horrifying character or a particularly creepy situation. Sometimes, they were worried that a child might feel overwhelmed by the intensity of a scene. In other situations, they were afraid that kids might believe in the power of witchcraft or magic.
Spring 2019 Newsletter - Stone Soup
Stone Soup, the popular award-winning LittleFolk picture book, reached an elite benchmark in children's publishing by selling over 100,000 copies! "Although a few perennial best-selling picture books like Good Night Moon, The Hungry Caterpillar, or Green Eggs and Ham have sold over millions of copies, very few picture books sell over 30,000 units, so crossing the 100,000 unit mark is a huge accomplishment for Stone Soup."
March 2019 Newsletter

Sometimes we take the celebration of Women’s contributions and achievements for granted so it’s important to note that March wasn’t always recognized as Women’s History Month. In fact, March wasn’t designated as Women’s History Month until 1987, when the perseverance and hard work of a number of women’s advocacy groups finally succeeded in pushing Congress to pass legislation officially naming March as Women’s History Month.
