Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins

On the first night of Hanukkah, a weary traveler named Hershel of Ostropol eagerly approaches a village, where plenty of latkes and merriment should warm him.

But when he arrives not a single candle is lit. A band of frightful goblins has taken over the synagogue, and the villagers cannot celebrate at all! Hershel vows to help them.

But can one man alone stand up to the goblins, save Hanukkah, and live to tell the tale? The 25th anniversary edition of this Caldecott Honor-winning classic includes an insightful afterword from the author and publisher explaining the book’s origins and remembering Trina Schart Hyman, the illustrator who brought the tale to life.

 Peri the Awesome COVID Fairy

This new book Peri the Awesome COVID Fairy should be on everyone’s list this year! It’s so adorable and relevant and should get into the hands of every little kid.

Adults can rationalize what’s happening with COVID-19, but for kids, they are suddenly thrust into this confusing and isolating experience. Everything from play dates to school, and even going out to eat looks and feels so much different. 

Through this whimsical story, kids will get some comfort out of the book’s message, but also remember to find time to still be kids—to dance, sing, and draw—even with the restrictions that come with COVID.

Satirist and lawyer Morgan Duffy and her esteemed illustrator/author mom Mary Duffy team up for the first time for an important public health cause which you must check out.

In their new book, Peri the Awesome COVID Fairy, a blue whimsical fairy who loves dressing up and dance parties, reminds kids about the importance of washing their hands and thinking of others.

COVID is hard to explain to anyone – let alone kids. But the Duffy’s manage to explain these unprecedented times in an easy-to-understand, non-scary way, while at the same time providing important health information and reminding kids not to neglect the things that make them happy.

Like dance parties, singing and drawing! Kids can join in on the reading, and even get in on their own Peri the Awesome COVID Fairy exclusive masks.

Little Justice Leaders

I would like to share Little Justice Leaders which is a subscription box that is the perfect unique gift for socially conscious kids (and their parents)! The box provides resources to learn about a different issue of social justice each month.

You can purchase a single box with a specific theme (for instance, anti-racism, gender identity, or voting rights), or a monthly subscription. You must check this out ASAP.

No photo description available.

This is a great gift for socially conscious families who want fun, age-appropriate resources to engage in meaningful topics about making a positive impact on the world.

 Quarantine The Card Game

With many new restrictions on gatherings due to the pandemic, celebrating birthdays this fall & winter will be tough. I have a new Gift I would like to share with you.

First I would like to share a tidbit from the family: family, they’ve taken to playing games. She even invented a new card game that’s been a hit with my friends & family and has turned into a great gift.

It’s called Quarantine The Card Game

They’ve beta-tested it with tons of families, and they seem to love it!

It’s a new & inexpensive gift to bring some fun & laughter into your home with your ‘shelter buddies.’

The product is made in the U.S and 5% of profits go to Feeding America & American Red Cross, which are doing incredible work during the pandemic. 

It’s time to lockdown, sanitize those hands, deal the cards, and have some fun!

Quarantine is a fun, fast paced combination of chance and strategy. The four suits represent your days spent in quarantine. The low card takes the trick, because we all want to spend the fewest days stuck inside possible!

Quarantine also has a special set of remedy Trump cards that beat the day cards. Now you can enjoy vaccine, social distancing, face mask, and medicine in the convenient form of remedy cards. Groups of 4 also have two optional virus and immunity cards to introduce more chance and challenge to the game.

The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook By Jill Grimes

The COVID pandemic has focused our attention on health like never before, and soon millions of freshly graduated high school students will fly the nest and begin their college careers.

As these young people begin to take responsibility for their own health, they will be dealing with the added challenges of issues like homesickness, close quarters of dormitories, test anxiety, and even hangovers, in addition to illness and injuries.

As a university campus physician and mother of two collegiate students, Grimes began writing helpful tips and creating first aid kits for common college ailments, which steadily evolved into The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook
