As we approach the holiday season it is important for parents to talk to their children about giving back and donating items that we no longer use or have out grown. A great way to help illustrate a lesson is to read books written for kids about the subject. The Little Green Jacket by author, Jodi Dee shows kids the journey one of their donated items can take and how happy other children are to receive it. This wonderful story shows that it is better for our clothes and toys to travel to other children in need rather than staying tucked away in a drawer or closet.

Astoria Learns to Swim is a fun and educational read for preschoolers, especially those who are already enrolled in swim lessons or who will be starting them soon!
