Have you had those moments in life when you feel like your routine is completely out of whack? That's been my world for the past few weeks. Life threw us a couple wrenches, and it's been a struggle to get back to our normal routine. As any parent knows, routine is key to a toddler's emotional well-being. This past week we were visiting family out-of-state, and they had intentionally bought bananas in anticipation of my toddler's arrival. So despite being out of normal routine, Books and Bananas lived on!
One of our choices to bring on the trip was NINJA! by Arree Chung. This book grabbed my little guy's curiosity. He really studied the items the main character gathered for his ninja costume; I could see the wheels turning.
This book was of special interest to me, as I'm currently taking an online class from the author. It was inspiring to see a published work from someone I have a connection with, especially after learning more about his journey to become a published author.
There are more NINJA! books out from this author/illustrator; be sure to check them out at http://arree.com/.
