Whistle For Willie 

This book is perfect for even the tiniest new babes. Peter tries to whistle for his dog, Willie and explores the town. While this seems like an odd choice,Whistle for Willie is part of a beautiful series following Peter and gives your children an intro to his life and how he explores our world includingPeter's Chair,The Snowy Day,Goggles and another choice from the list,A Letter To Amy




A Letter To Amy 

Our friend Peter is back and he wants to invite a friend to his birthday party. It's a girl, and while the story takes an unexpected turn, it opens the door to a conversation about multiple relevant topics in a way your children will welcome.

This book brings racial and class diversity to the forefront and teaches a great lesson of how perspective means everything! You'll love this read for all ages! 

 

The Youngest Marcher 

This book is great for all ages but may really set in for school-aged children. It is the true story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, one of the smallest bodies with a big voice in the civil rights movement! 



And what would our list be without our current history!?

Wonderful to highlight equality for kids. Consider taking your game to the next level and linking to a Black owned bookstore for purchase rather than Amazon. <3

How Families Can Embrace Simple Self-Care to Soothe Fussiness & Stress

5 min read

This blog explains how simple family self-care routines can help reduce stress when caring for a colicky or frequently crying baby. When an infant is uncomfortable, the entire household can feel overwhelmed and exhausted. The article emphasizes that small, consistent habits can support both parent wellbeing and baby comfort, creating a calmer home environment.

It highlights practical strategies such as short daily walks, simple meal routines, quick breathing exercises, reduced screen time before bed, and consistent sleep cues. These small habits help regulate stress, improve family rhythms, and make it easier for parents to respond calmly during fussy moments.

The blog also suggests creating a simple 10-minute plan for difficult times of day, with a short parent reset (breathing, relaxing shoulders, softening the voice) followed by a consistent soothing routine for the baby. Repeating small, predictable actions helps both parents and babies feel more secure.

Overall, the message is that tiny, repeatable self-care practices can build family resilience, reduce overwhelm, and create a more peaceful routine—even during challenging colic phases.
