Drown the Drearies with Reading!

November can be a dreary month plunked between the excitement of Halloween and December’s festive holidays. Its chilly days, cloudy skies and wet snow can make anyone feel grumpy. But we have the perfect solution! Sit down with a mug of something warm and delicious, and settle into November’s Mom & Caregiver magazine.

You see, we feel like November is the perfect month for reading! It’s all about a big comfy chair, cozy blankets and your favourite magazine. This month’s issue will warm you with dreams of travel (Holiday Magic Awaits at Walt Disney World Resort on page 13 and Four Lessons from our Family’s First Europe Trip on page 18). And it will calm you with Nature’s Paintbrush (page 5) and Finding Balance in Busy November (page 2).

Let’s also get the kiddos in on the action! Reading at home, of course, improves language skills, enhances cognitive development and is a foundation for academic success. But it also increases empathy and makes for stronger family bonds. So cuddle up with some of our team’s favourite fall storybooks:

Red is Best by Kathy Stinson

Woodland Dance! By Sandra Boynton

Bear Feels Sick by Karma Wilson

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst

Something From Nothing by Phoebe Gilman

Have You Seen My Acorn? By D.K. Ryland

Hopefully the Scarecrow by Michelle Houts

Alive With Poppies by Tomos Roberts

 

From our family to yours, here’s wishing you a November filled with warmth, joy and the love of reading! Cheers!
