This book is a collection of stories meant to help with a smooth bedtime routine by incorporating mindfulness practices when children are falling asleep. The book was first developed by Professor Alice Gregory and then a scientific study was run with 100 families to see if it would indeed help with sleep. It turns out that 77% of families had positive experiences with the first version of the book. After feedback was given, Alice Gregory improved upon the book and this is the one we have available today! There are several sections for adults at the beginning of the book, explaining how the book came to be and how to best use the book incorporated into bedtime. In the back of the book is a list of tips to help with a bedtime routine, and a Q&A section. This book was sent to us by @flyingeyebooks but all opinions are our own! More information about the book can be found by clicking the link in our bio! #meditation #mindfulness #sleepbetter #bedtimestories #flyingeyebooks #nobrowpress #picturebooksaremyjam #childrensbooks #bookstagram
This is what two queers on a mission to change the world look like. We’re in love with books, nature, and each other. We’re lucky enough to have incredibly supportive families-chosen and biological. You, my friend, are valid, brave and unstoppable. Even if you can’t come out yet. #nationalcomingoutday #lgbtq #loveislove #tinyactivistsathome #ourhumanityisnotupfordebate

For our second #readwithriver_action book pick this week, we chose a book that is about developing that inner drive to action. The Gold Egg opens with some children playing under a tree until it becomes too hot to play, and then they hang out drinking lemonade. An old man comes over to chat with them and tells the kids a story of the Kloonee bird who lays golden eggs at the top of the tree. Most of the kids don’t believe him, except one blond boy named Devan. He decides to climb the tree up to the nest even though his friends tell him that he’s foolish. He climbs until a branch breaks, and he falls to the ground. Determined, he gets back up and begins to climb again. Taking a break on a stronger branch, Devan debates whether or not he should climb the rest of the way. We won’t spoil the rest 🙂 This storyline is part of a larger metaphor for chasing dreams through hard work and determination. The reward for completing a challenge is like a golden egg-not everyone will have one because not everyone is willing to do what it takes. Being able to persevere through hardship is a skill that must be cultivated, and one children should definitely learn as early as possible. This can take many forms-working on an art project, perfect the perfect layup, or climbing a tree to find out for yourself if there really is a golden egg at the top of it. This is a very cute story with lyrical rhymes. The illustrations are colorful and the print is large as well. This is helpful for a read aloud! At the end of the book is a note from the author, giving some background context for the story and the reason for the clever pen name. This book was provided by the author but all opinions are our own!

Hi folx! We put on our Very Serious Business Faces this morning and finally CLOSED ON OUR LAND!! Our goal for this year was to find the land, and we did it! Tbh, it was kind of anticlimactic signing some papers. But then we went and ate some celebratory ramen 🍜 what’s everyone else been up to today? #tinyactivistsathome #tinyactiviststinyhouse #weboughtsomewoods #land #bringingbookstothewoods #intothewoods
