I Am So Brave! really does help children overcome fear

I Am So Brave! is helpful in teaching children that some situations they may find scary can be overcome.  Initially I thought the book was too simplistic for even our two and a half year old.  Because of that the book stayed in my office for two weeks.  It wasn’t until a big thunderstorm came to the house that I realized just how helpful I Am So Brave! could be in action.

Guardians of the Galaxy #16, great story & art-bring on the movie

I am not just saying that Guardians of the Galaxy is the best comic book out there now simply because of the movie coming out. I tried to embrace Green Lantern prior to that movie, but the story and movie just didn’t hold my attention. I have high hopes for the Guardians movie and have been reading this incarnation of the comic book since it came out last year.  Guardians of the Galaxy #16 continues with the team in shambles, spread out across the galaxy, trying to fight out of their situations and get back together.

Simpsons Comics #212: brings the funny to all ages

Sometimes in my search for the new and unique I forget the obvious.  I’ve found some great new comics that are perfectly suited for young readers, notably Skyward-which is great all ages action.  However, I’ve been reading Simpsons Comics for 21 years, it’s a great all ages comic that my son loves to read-when I let him.

The Bigs, a story young professionals (& more) can learn from

The Bigs by Ben Carpenter is a hybrid book of sorts.  It’s the story of Carpenter’s career from college to CEO of an investment company.  But more than that it’s the story of the people that he met along the way, both good and bad that taught him things about life.

iRules-detailed tips for parents on technology and children

Daddy Mojo works in social media, I work in technology and I’m also very nosey when it comes to our children – so I haven’t been very concerned with the iDevice revolution. I have a device and so does my husband, so to protect our children all we have to do is secure the connection in our house, right? Wrong.  iRules discusses different elements of incorporating technology into your family – from the devices themselves to the rules and developing technologically responsible children.

A Bucket of Blessings- a new classic children’s book for all

There is a lot to love about A Bucket of Blessings, written by Kabir & Surishtah Sehgal.  The story is simple, relatable to children, teaches them lessons and has big words &  pictures for children.  A Bucketful of Blessings is based on a little-known Indian myth that demonstrates the power of sharing, hope and blessings.

Skyward #6-action oriented all ages comic that you’ll like too

Skyward #6 manages to straddle the line between fable, fairy tale and action so perfectly you don’t know exactly how to define it.  I hesitated calling it all ages comic because it’s so entertaining and has so much action.  But after re-reading it I couldn’t find anything that would be scary to a 5 year old or objectionable for their parents. It’s a cool all ages comic book that any age can read, enjoy and want to share with their children or dig into it solo.
