2015 Books I had to put off reading for several years as the kids were younger. Now that they are older and I spend a lot of hours sitting around waiting on them I can read. I still prefer books. I've tried an IPad but found that I just preferred holding a book. I've always read John Grisham and Dan Brown, a few years ago the girls at work made me expand my horizons. I discovered Elin Hilderbrand and Nicholas Sparks. In 2014 I expanded even more and discovered Kristin Hannah, John Green and Christine Baker Kline. I love all their books. For 2015 I decided to read 20 books and include at least one classic that I had not read. I read The Old Man and the Sea. I've read a few military books. I've read a few books from the Holocaust period which I found interesting. Here is my list for 2015 1. American Sniper by Chris Kyle. Just an amazing book and story. Thank you Chris Kyle 2. On mystic lake by Kristin Hannah. I love her books. I cant read enough of them. After this one I ordered 3 more! 3. The fragile world by Paula Treick DeBoard. She sucked me in with The Mourning Hour and this story certainly didn't disappoint 4. Home front by Kristin Hannah Wow is all I can say. If you have a female friend in the military I'd recommend you read this. 5. The Old Man and The Sea by. Ernest Hemingway. It's a classic for a reason 6. Looking for Alaska by John Green Liked it better then Paper Towns. 7. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry I enjoyed it 8. The Matchmaker by Elin Hilderbrand What can I say, I love ALL her books. 9. 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher I read because one of the boys had to read it at school. Interesting 10. Redeployment by Phil Kay. Insightful, not in a good way 11. The Right Thing by Scott Waddell. Very good read. Its a true story about an actual event 12. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs. It was OK. I liked the first book better. 13. Survivors: True Stories of Children in the Holocaust by Zullo and Bovsun. Its a kids book but very powerful! 14. Sweet Water by Christina Baker Kline I loved it! Read very fast! Felt like I was there! 15. Firefly lane by Kristin Hannah. OMG this has got to be the best book ever. I'm not sure why I was so completely drawn into the story but I was. 16. Fly away by Kristin Hannah. Part 2 of Firefly Lane and I loved it just as much! I just love her style of writing. I just feel like I'm part of the story. 17. Best of me by Nicholas sparks. This has to be the best Sparks book ever. I read it over the weekend and stayed up late to finish it on a Sunday night! Yes its that good. 18, Gray Mountain. John Grisham Great book and powerful! We really don't know what goes on in our world if its not happening right outside out own window. 19. The first phone call from heaven. Mitch Albom Good book 20. Gathering blue. Lois Lowry I missed that the Giver was a series. WOW Just wow. This and the Messanger and Son are the end of the series. I read them very quick. Easy reads and interesting! 21. Messanger. Lois Lowry 22. Son. Lois Lowry 23. Winter garden. Kristen Hannah An incredible book. I didn't want this book to end. I felt like I was part of the story.

Seeing It through My Eyes conveys the thoughts and feelings that author Reigh Lee has experienced throughout her life. She presents a series of explorations of her emotions and various events in her life as she tries to figure out what is going on in her own mind. She hopes that others can relate to her reflections and find comfort in it knowing someone else feels the same way. Some of the topics Reigh Lee discusses might be hard to read about, because they go deep into feelings that many people avoid considering. It might be difficult to communicate what you're thinking or feeling verbally, but the process of translating those feelings into words can be helpful. The world She thought the hole in her heart was never gonna be whole again. Tell the world gave her everything she needed for it to be whole again. The world sent her people and put her on the right path to make her happy again, in the way she thought she never could be. Though the world still sends her tough times, instead of seeing them as why would the world do this to me. She sees them as the world is testing her and she is gonna win and only learn more things she needs to know in the end. She now says you have to be willing to see the good in what the world has to offer, before you see the bad to make it through life.

There is truly nothing like having friends. Growing up with friends, sharing experiences, bonding with each other, and eventually becoming adult friends has so many benefits. Friendships will boost your happiness especially when they are lifelong friends. 💗 My son is an only-child, and I strive to make sure he has friends. He actually has some very close friends since he was a toddler, and although at times its hard for them to meet-up because of the parent's busy schedule (including myself) he knows they are his friends. Cecilia and Miguel are Best Friends / Cecilia y Miguel son mejores amigos is a beautiful children's book that precisely focuses on a lifelong friendship. Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of reviewing it. I did not receive monetary compensation for this review. All opinions are my own. Written by author Diane Gonzales Bertrand and illustrated by Thelma Muraida they created an album of memories that reflect their shared Mexican-American childhood in San Antonio, Texas: swinging at birthday party piñatas, breaking cascarones over friends' heads and dancing at quinceañeras. Publisher Synopsis Cecilia and Miguel are best friends, and have been since the third grade when he gave her bunny ears in the class picture. Their life-long friendship is recorded in warm recollections of bike races and soccer games, beach time and fishing from the pier. Their closeness endures separation, even when he drove north to college and she drove west. The relationship evolves and grows, but remains strong even when ... he dropped the ring and she found it inside her flan ... he set up one crib and she told him they need two ... the twins climb into their bed and beg for another story. In this celebration of friendship, best friends forgive mistakes, share adventures and sometimes even become family! I love this book for so many reasons! As a mamá raising a multicultural child I love being able to read a book with my child that he can relate to. The kids in the book look like him, and he can actually connect with the characters of the book. In this book you'll find themes such as, friendship, culture, and most importantly the book is in both English and Spanish! I am always looking for diverse and multicultural books. So having the opportunity to review this beautiful children's book was more than I asked for! Now for some fun activities that your child and friends!

Mission Our mission is to not only raise awareness for the kid’s books that celebrate diversity, but to get more of these of books into classrooms and libraries. Children’s reading and play advocates Valarie Budayr from Jump Into a Book and Mia Wenjen from Pragmatic Mom have teamed up to create an ambitious (and much needed) national event. On January 27th, Jump into a Book and Pragmatic Mom will be presenting yet another Multicultural Children’s Book Day as a way of celebrating diversity in children’s books. Despite census data that shows 37% of the US population consists of people of color, only 10% of children’s books published have diversity content. Using the Multicultural Children’s Book Day, Mia and Valarie are on a mission to change all of that. Their mission is to not only raise awareness for the kid’s books that celebrate diversity, but to get more of these types of books into classrooms and libraries. Another goal of this exciting event is create a compilation of books and favorite reads that will provide not only a new reading list for the winter, but also a way to expose brilliant books to families, teachers, and libraries. Multicultural Children’s Book Day will include book reviews from noted bloggers all over the world, giveaways and book-related activities for young readers of all ages. The MCCBD team is also offering teachers and librarian the chance to earn a FREE hardcover multicultural book for their classroom and library shelves. As a new incentive to schools, the Junior Library Guild has signed as a major sponsor of MCCBD and together we have launched the joint Classroom Diversity Reading Challenge. Source: Teddy bear image

When my baby was born (8 years ago) I was sure of one thing. I wanted to raise him to embrace his multiculturalism, and to become a global citizen. Besides, exposing him to foods, and books from other countries I also rely on resources such as the Diversity Calendar and Games Around the World that I am featuring today. These are resources you can use to help you raise a world citizen. Here are my go-to resources for raising world citizens at home, and in the classroom: Becky from Kid World Citizen has a Diversity Calendar that can be found here. While I realize that this is for the academic calendar year, and it is December you can still use this for this month, and the rest of the year. I love that this calendar has all of the major world religions, and it also includes fun holidays like Penguin Appreciation Day next month, and International Polar Bear Day in February among many more: multicultural and ethnic festivals religious holy days from all major religions environmental days to celebrate and honor our planet United Nations International Days such as “Global Youth Service Day“ fun holidays that celebrate friendship, empathy, and kindness I love this calendar, and now each month you have the holidays, festivals, and celebrations listed by dates. It's easy to follow, and a real-time saver. Perfect for the classroom or for you homeschool. Who knew there was an International Polar Day in February? You can get your Diversity Calendar here. Have you ever wondered how to play games from around the world, and had no clue where to look? Julie from Globe Trottin' Kids has an amazing resource with Games Around the World which includes: a summary table. Plan for the materials or equipment needed to play each game, as well as the best setting to play (indoor/outdoor) and the number of children needed to play. a world map. Students keep their own copy to track the countries they have played games from. 35 instruction cards. The colorful cards, decorated with the country’s flag, include clear instructions to prepare and play the game, its country of origin, and printables when necessary. 8 extension activities. Students compare games, invent a new game, research other games, and more! I love her games! These can be used in the classroom, or homeschool. I would also venture to use them in cultural playdates, or parties. When planning a lesson on Ghana, Japan or Australia play one of the games, and the kids will love it!
