📚 In case you weren't aware, we're big fans of reading to little ones of all ages, and here's why!

Reading can start from birth! In fact, hearing stories, songs, and conversations helps babies develop language skills and build strong connections with the people who love them.

So whether you're reading Goodnight Moon for the hundredth time or making up your own story as you go, you're helping your little one learn and grow.

What's the first book you remember reading to your little one? Tell us below and maybe you'll inspire another family's next bedtime story! 💕📚

Four buttons down... but did Pete cry?

Goodness, no! 🎶

Our last fav book pick, chosen by Shauna, is Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

This book makes learning fun with counting, math and a catchy song we all can't help but sing along with.

Pete reminds us that sometimes things don't go the way we planned, but we don't have to let it get us down. We can roll with the changes, keep going, and remember that it's all good.

Found it! Or should we say found her voice.

Today's pick, chosen by Amanda, is Willow's Whispers by Lana Button.

Willow starts out so quiet nobody can hear her, until she finally works up the nerve to speak up loud and proud. It's a great one for any little who's still figuring out how to use their own voice.

We also love that this story has a local connection. If you're from Charlotte County area, you've most likely heard of author Lana Button. She grew up in St. Stephen so her books feel a little more special.

❓Bonus Question: Have you read any of Lana's other books? If you have a favourite, let us know in the comments

Guess what David did today...

(Hint: it's messy 🤣)

Today's pick is "No, David!", one of Johann's all-time favourites.

Kids love pointing out everything David isn't supposed to do and instantly relate to his mischievous adventures.

Just when it seems like the whole story is about making messes and getting into trouble, the ending reminds us of what really matters: no matter what, your child is always loved.

❓ Bonus question: Has your child ever made such a big mess that all you could do was laugh and love them even more?

Community Event Spotlight 🌳

We love seeing community members step up for local kids, and this is such a good one!

The Saint John Free Kids’ Book Market happens Saturday, August 8th from 2 to 4 pm (or until books run out) outside the front door of the Carleton Community Centre. There will be face painting, story time, bookmark decorating, and more, with free books for kids ages Pre-K to Grade 5 to build their home library.

They’re currently collecting gently used and new books for the market. If you have books at home to share, reach out to them directly to find out how to donate.

The moment I've been excited about announcing!!

We're looking at August 8th in the grass between the bandstand and the front door of the Carleton Community Centre! From 2-4 pm!

Everyone is welcome and children will be going home with free books (exact number of books allowed per child will be determined by how many are donated). We're hoping for a crowd so please if you have books that aren't getting the love we have children who will love to love them!

All are welcome! And I'll make a Facebook event today to share! Please share this away!

Heather's pick for favourite book is Where Is Baby's Belly Button? and it's a guaranteed giggle fest! 😄

Little ones will love lifting the flaps to help find Baby's belly button, and don't be surprised if the story ends with shrieks of laughter and requests to read it again... and again... and again! 📚💕

While they're having fun, they're also learning body parts, practicing imitation, and building fine motor skills. Not bad for a book that feels like pure silliness!

❓Bonus Question: What book has your little one laughing out loud every single time you read it? Share your family's favourite in the comments! 👇😊

Our favourite book list wouldn't be complete without an actual bedtime routine story (but make it fun). And Trina's choice, " The Going to Bed Book" by Sandra Boynton delivers! More than a book, it's like an instruction manual for bedtime.

BATH. TEETH. PJS. STORY. BED.

No plot, no drama, just a bunch of very sleepy animals living their best life before lights out.

❓Bonus question: What's the one book that always signals bedtime with your little one?

We're over the moon excited about Nicolette's book, "The Way I Feel", because sometimes all a feeling needs is a name before you can work through it.
