Last year the Pink Hat Marches occurred. There were many ways of telling children about it. One of them was The Pink Hat by Andrew Joyner. The way he does it is by taking a pink hat made by a special lady, and this hat goes on an interesting journey before it ends up in a very special march. (And if you look closely you will see how that hat has come full circle). The fact the story is the journey of the hat and […]

The Joy of Cookies: Cookie Monster’s Guide to Life is not just the guide of Cookie Monster, but the guide to life that we all should follow.
