Cooper and Me {children’s book} ~ A Review & Giveaway

Cooper and Me is a sweet picture book about a little girl’s fears about her first day of school.  Cooper and Me was illustrated by 11-year old Alexa Peters and co-written by Alexa & her mother Monique Peters.
The character of Cooper is based on Alexa’s real life dog, Cooper, a labrador retriever.  And the book Cooper and Me was based on Alexa’s own personal experience with her first day of school. 

Alexa’s illustrations are vibrant and colorful and the I love the rhyming text.  Even though I am an adult…I have to admit, I love books that have rhyming text.  Rhyming words are just plain fun to read, in my opinion . 

In this story, the little girl is having first day of school jitters.  Since my kiddos have always been homeschooled they have never been fearful about this particular experience.  However, they have dealt with fears associated with embarking on a new experience, such as the first day in a new Sunday School class.

So even though they can’t exactly identify with what the main character in Cooper and Me is experiencing, they can sympathize because they have had “first time” jitters too.
I think Cooper and Me would be a fun read for any kiddo, whether they are  looking forward to {or not looking forward to } the first day of school, or  getting ready to experience a “first time” that they’re not too sure about. 

More Information
Cooper and Me is the first book in the Cooper and Me series.  This sweet picture book and the others in the series are available for purchase on the Cooper and Me website for $12.99/each.
The website also features a number of other fun and useful resources for kiddos and parents, including coloring pages that match each book in the Cooper and Me series and helpful reading guides for parents to use with each book.

The Shunning DVD ~ A Review & Giveaway

I just finished watching my complimentary copy of The Shunning DVD…and I loved it!  I am not usually one to cry at movies, but I must admit that there are tears in my eyes right now . 

The Shunning is a Hallmark Channel Original Movie based on the novel by Beverly Lewis. 

I love to read Christian fiction and Beverly Lewis just so happens to be one of my favorite Christian fiction authors…so I did read this book a while back.  Since it’s been a while I cannot say whether the movie follows the original story exactly but I think it is pretty close. 

I highly recommend The Shunning to anyone who is looking for a well-made drama without the bad language and love scenes that can bring a blush to your cheeks .

Now I’m off to put the next book in Beverly Lewis’ series starring Katie Lapp on hold at my library.

The Grace Card DVD ~ A Movie Review & Giveaway

The Grace Card is a movie about God’s love, God’s grace, and the power of forgiveness. 

Mac is a father who lost a son 17 years ago, a father who is on the brink of losing his other son now…he is an angry man.  And he is partnered up with a pastor cop, Sgt. Sam Wright, part-time pastor and full-time cop.  Neither man really wants the other man in his life, but God put each of them there for a reason.  That reason is to learn about grace; giving grace and receiving it.

 

I loved this poignant Christian film!  It brought me to the brink of tears a number of times…and I do not usually cry during movies.  I especially appreciated the message of this movie. 

Please note that The Grace Card is rated PG-13 due to some violence and thematic elements in the movie.   

The Grace Card DVD released on August 16th, 2011.  You can read more about this movie on The Grace Card website.

You can also check out their facebook page that already boasts over 47,000 fans!
