Cookies!

March 22, 2024

Just about to make some chocolate chip cookies...it's a rare long rainy afternoon here, although rain and storms have been surprisingly common this year in Southern CA, and there's nothing better on a rainy afternoon than a big stack of cookies and a big stack of books. :) So it's time to look out for a new rainy day chocolate chip cookie recipe! We've been trying the recipes in Betty Goes Vegan, but I think for this one I might try this post punk kitchen one. It calls for tapioca flour, but we're thinking of trying cornstarch. What is your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe? Click on the link to try a look at Isa's recipe! :) #cookies #chocolatechip #baking #homemade #vegan #plantbased #rainy #rain #california #homeday #reading #books #bookish #amreading #homebaking #desserts #sweets #treats

St. Patrick's Day

Hot of the presses! Our new book Things I Love About St. Patrick’s Day celebrates all the fun you can have on St. Patrick’s Day, dancing with leprechauns, listening to Irish bagpipes, and eating oodles of yummy green food. This is a great one for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. What are your favorite things to do on St. Patrick’s Day? We might make a Disney day of it! :) #stpatricks #stpatrick #patricksday #irish #ireland #celtic #familyfun #family #kindergarten #preschool #baby #infant #earlylearning #earlyreading #babybooks #toddlerbooks #toddlers #amreading #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookstoread #green #wearinggreen #leprechauns #shamrocks #holidayfun

Pioneer Johnny cakes

March 9, 2024

Luna made some delicious Johnny Cakes for this morning from the book Pioneer Days. Jonny Cakes were a favorite food of early Wild West settlers. A bonus - the recipe was easy to make plant based, with boiling water and cornmeal (and we used coconut milk). Have you tried any fun historical recipes lately? Love this book Pioneer Days with its great activities and recipes and immersive children's experiences from the past. :) You can click on the photo to see a link of the book. :) #history #kids #family #familyfun #activities #historical #books #amreading #bookstagram #childrensbooks #pioneers #wildwest #settlers #livinghistory #plantbased #breakfast #recipes #cornmeal

Teatime with cats and kittens!

March 8, 2024

Just out! Our new release classic book Cats and Kittens Out to Tea is so much fun. I love the mischievous kittens getting into all those yummy teacups! :) Who else loves teatime? I'm constantly making tea - some favorites around here for long reading and editing sessions are turmeric tea, mint tea with fresh mint, and cinnamon tea. What are your favorite teas to sip while reading a good book? #tea #cats #kittens #amreading #earlyreading #earlylearning #kindergarten #preschool #toddlers #baby #bookstagram #bookshelf #newrelease #newbooks #teatime #boba #reading #familyfun

Nature Poems and Roly Polys

March 6, 2024

We’ve been selling a lot of hardbacks of Christina Rossetti’s nature poems lately. It makes a beautiful gift for anyone with a spring birthday, an Easter basket, or just a thoughtful, every day present. We love exploring nature on long wilderness hikes and every day walks around the neighborhood. Luna recently discovered some magnificent roly polys with a friend and they had so much fun!
