Review: The Treasure Box By Keane & Bell

Today I share a book that I love and dread all at once. Dread in a good way, like no matter how hard I try not to, I cry when reading it. A tender book about grandparents, their beloved grandchildren and the special connection they have with each other. A book about love and loss. Come and see The Treasure Box by Dave Keane, illustrated by Rahele Jomepour Bell, 2022.

Book Review: A Couple Of Boys Have The Best Week Ever By Marla Frazee

One of the most memorable parts of childhood summers would have to be going to camp. Whether it be band camp, or church camp, or scout camp or Grandparent camp, the mere act of going away for a whole week and experiencing something different is epic as a child. The plans and adventures don’t have to be major and most likely the smallest parts of the week are what is going to stick and be recounted for years to come. And that’s what this book really captures. This is a humorous glimpse of the minor details surrounding a week of camp and featuring two boys, some dear grandparents, and some profoundly honest and perfectly placed speech bubbles. Here is A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever by Marla Frazee, 2008.
