ABOUT THE BOOK When wise and kind Joseph Chickadee passes away, other birds of the forest come together to remember him and celebrate all that he did as a leader and friend. Follow along in this story of love, loss, and grace as Joseph's family and friends say goodbye. Grade Level:  3 - 4 Hardcover:  38 pages Publisher:  Mascot Books Inc (July 2, 2019) Language:  English ISBN-10:  1643073885 ISBN-13:  978-1643073880 MY BOOK REVIEW "Remembering Joseph Chickadee" is a beautiful book that brings up the conversation about death. Using animals to tell the story about death is a lot nicer than just doing it with humans.  Nancy Youngdahl hit this topic in the ballpark. We learn when someone or something passes away they are missed. Each page is filled with beautiful oil painting illustrations.   It stresses how no one will forget him and how he was an inspiration. We see all of his friends dealing with grief. This is a sad but heartwarming story. ABOUT THE

One day, while exploring the bottom of the mystical ocean, Serena finds a dazzling, but mysterious crystal of two mer-people who look like they are in love! Join Serena on her adventure to learn more about the figures in this unexpected treasure. MY BOOK REVIEW Love to search for hidden treasures from Sunken ships. Found a mer-people dancing on the box. Serena takes it to her jeweler to make it into a necklace but is surprised what hse finds out about it. You will have to read the book because I don't want to give away the story. "Even though something may seem unimportant and to you, at first that doesn't mean its not important to someone else." Never assume something is unimportant and who knows you might wind up with a new treasure that can change your life too.  Beautiful pictures. Go

Have you ever thought you met someone who you think will be a great friend, but then find out they are just using you to get to someone else or just wasn't there for you when you were there for them? A year ago, I met someone who is in the theatre community. She started acting in my skits for my production companies web series.

They became girlfriend and boyfriend. She was devastated because she really loves him. His girlfriend was jealous and didn't want him to hang out with her because they use to be physical with each other,"Friends with benefits", so he stopped communicating with her. This is what caused our friendship to get stronger because the only way she could find out what was going on with him was through me. We would go thrift shopping, garage
