We love finding new books for Hudson! His current favorites are from The Little Red Bookshop here in Atlanta. There’s three in the series, with a fourth on the way in September. The three we have now are A Friend in the End, Then Again Said the Hen, and Forgiving Fox. Each book has beautiful illustrations and engaging story lines that also teach good morals. Yes, Hudson is a little young to get the moral aspect of it, but I know we’ll continue reading these books as he grows.
I actually got to meet the author, Katherine, at Mommycon. She’s a school counselor and a mother to 6 (yes, 6!). All of that experience with children led her to create books that are not only fun to read, but also help children navigate hard topics like bullying, forgiveness, and believing in oneself. I love these books for their message, while Hudson enjoys them for their rhyming story lines and great pictures.
Every morning he grabs these three books, sits on his chair in the front yard, and waits for me to read to him. It’s a great way to begin the day!

I love seeing little ones reading books. My biggest fear is that this generation won't read! They all love the ipad and the phone…
What a cutie!
