Happy Hannah: A Book Review

Good morning and happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. Today, I've got a book review I've been meaning to post.

YS2 loves to read. Looooves! Okay, he’s not actually reading the words yet but books are a fave and they have been pretty much from the beginning. He loves books read to him or sometimes he “reads” them on his own.

When I was contacted by author, Elke Weiss, about reviewing her children’s book, “Hannah and the Talking Tree” from Free Focus Publishing, I could see at first glance it’d be a great book for YS2 so of course I said yes.

I was so excited when I got the book and could look at all the beautiful pages. So colorful! And the story is cute. And I thought it was so nice of her to personalize it for Caleb.



The story is about a girl named Hannah who has big ears, which of course, makes her unique but because of it she’s able to help a talking tree she finds. She learns how important trees are to our environment, us and the animals.

It’s written for children (obviously) but the message is a great reminder for adults as well. It’s not annoying or too simple as some children’s books can be. This held YS2’s interest with the colorful pages and the story, which he was able to follow along at his sweet age of two. To say he loves the book is an understatement. It immediately became a favorite and was read 2-3 times (or more) a day for quite some time.

YS2 loves Hannah. He might even identify with her a bit with her ears (*wink*) but he gives Hannah a kiss when she’s sad and then declares her Happy Hannah. It’s so sweet.

The book is printed on recycle paper (of course!) and has won awards (well earned!). You can read more about it here.

"Hannah and the Talking Tree" is simply charming and would be wonderful to add to your child’s collection or to give as a gift. You can purchase it online at Amazon.com for $16.95 or check your local book store for a copy.

Thank you Ms. Weiss for the beautiful gift!



P.S. I received a copy of the book to review, however, I was not paid, asked or expected to write a favorable post. What you read is just my honest opinion. The end. :)

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
