If we surround the children we love with books which will capture their attention, they will speak sooner, develop a larger vocabulary, learn to read sooner, do better at school, and will want to read all the time. Yesterday I wrote about one such book - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Asia!, and today I want to let you know about another book in the series which will absolutely capture the attention of the children you love - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Africa! This is a picture book filled with full-color photos - two of each animal, and some interesting, fun facts about each one as well.

Summer Reading - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Asia

Today I'm happy to let you know about one more book in the series - Look What Lives in Asia! This is a picture book filled with full-color photos - two of each animal, and some interesting, fun facts about each one as well.
National Donut Day!
Today is National Donuts Day - I do love donuts, but rarely eat them. But, a day to celebrate these wonderful, tasty treats is a great - or tasty idea for sure! So, on this day I thought I'd share some fun information about donuts and a recipe for baked donuts - they have to be better for you than fried donuts, although, certainly not "healthy". So, first for some fun facts - did you know . . .

Summer Reading - Look What Lives in the Americas & Europe
As I shared over the past couple weeks, during covid my grands and I wrote 12 books about animals, so earlier this year I took the animals from these books and put together a series for young children (although everyone loves picture books about animals, so all ages will enjoy them!) Today I am happy to let you know about the book - "Look What Lives in the Americas & Europe". This is a picture book filled with full-color photos - two of each animal, and some interesting, fun facts about each one as well.

Summer Reading - Created 'Just Right! Look What Lives in Australia & New Zealand
During COVID my grands and I put together the twelve books in the Life on the Goldilocks Planet series which help us see how animals show us God is real because He made everything "just right". In these books (which I have shared with you over the past couple weeks), you find full-color photos, fun facts, along with crafts, science projects, and recipes for the entire family to enjoy as they learn about the animals and discover how they help them have a confident faith. These books (The Life on the Goldilocks Planet series) are ideal for children ages four through fourteen - and the entire family.
But, since younger children enjoy picture books, I took animals from these books and combined them into six picture books which show animals and include just a couple of the fun facts for each animal to make books for younger children ages three through seven. These new books - "Created 'Just Right!'" are now available in both print and kindle ebook formats!

did you know - Grasshopper Mice!
Living from southern Canada, through the desert of Southwest United States and into Mexico is a very amazing, “mighty”, mouse – the Grasshopper Mouse. These mice remind me of Nehemiah 9:6 – You are the Lord, You alone. You have made heaven, the earth and all that is on it; and You preserve all of them.
God made everything on Earth, including Grasshopper Mice so let’s see what we are able to learn about them . . .
· When you think about animals which are ferocious predators, you typically do not picture tiny mice . . . but after reading this, you will!

did you know - Helmeted Hornbills!
In a small area of Thailand and Indonesia, you may discover a unique, odd-looking bird – the Helmeted Hornbill, and when I think about it, I remember Job 12:10 –
“In his hand is the life of every living thing.”
The Earth is full of the creatures God made; some of them are quite unexpected; like the Helmeted Hornbill. Let’s take a closer look at this bird . . .

did you know - Fairy Penguins!
Living along the southern coast of Australia, and the entire coasts of Tasmania, and New Zealand is a tiny penguin known as the Fairy Penguin. See what we learn about God’s creation in Genesis 1:20 –
And God said, “Let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”
Let’s look at a unique birds God created which does not fly through the air, but does “fly” through the sea -
