Please find some sounds and sights of the Season in my post today. I hope you enjoy them, and they help with the Holiday Spirit!
Now we don't want our kids to be too Grinchie, but they do have fun with this one, so I thought I'd include it! Have fun.
And, of course, it is not Christmas without Charlie Brown. Carl Schultz was really onto something with this glorious creation!
And enjoy some old fashioned Christmas music!
Have a Happy Holiday from me to you!

Loggerhead Turtles Showcased in Sea Turtle Summer
Loggerhead sea turtles are an ancient species, having been on this earth for up to forty million years. These turtles have very large heads and strong jaws. They can weigh up to three hundred pounds as adults.
(Please view the sea turtle hatchling rescue at the bottom of the post.)
Loggerheads spend most of their lives in the open ocean and in shallow coastal waters. They rarely come ashore, with the exception of the females' brief visits to build nests and lay eggs.
This turtle is endangered worldwide. Their main enemy is human. Because of pollution, reduction of habitat, fishing trawls, the population is dwindling.
Many people and organizations are trying to help these majestic creatures. They are protected by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. In the US and in many other parts of the world, disturbing a nest carries large fines.
I hope my new children's book, Sea Turtle Summer, can do its part to help bring the turtles' plight to the attention of kids and their parents. Education is the number one factor in conserving our planet.
Sea Turtle Summer is the second book in the Bella and Britt Series. The girls find a female sea turtle laying her eggs on the busiest beach in their town. They see the female safely back into the sea, but what can they do to save the nest?
This is not only an ecology book for children. It is about kid empowerment as well. Bella and Britt find themselves disagreeing with adults, and that makes for a sensitive situation.
I would love for your children and grandchildren to read Sea Turtle Summer with you in the hope it will enlighten and uplift everyone who reads it. The book was launched on November 14 and can be found at:

Goodnight iPad, A Parody of the Children’s Book Goodnight Moon
Goodnight iPad is a new book by children’s author David Milgrim under the pseudonym “Ann Droyd." It’s a parody of the classic bedtime children’s book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. Wise's book was first published in 1947.
(Be sure to view the You Tube video of the book at the bottom of this post.)
Milgrim’s updated story shows a very different homelife 50 years later, with mobile devices, social networks, and non-stop streaming media. Even the cat has headphones on.
The world of technology is morphing so quickly even technology cannot keep up! It is refreshing to have fun with this fast paced part of modern life.
In a strange way, the video is a bit comforting as well. In the midst of all the change and sometimes impersonal delivery of technology, comes a voice dripping with warmth, comfort and familiarity to a child's nighttime routine.
Have fun with it!
