Those who have felt or still feel […]

Hey, Boy by author Benjamin Strouse and illustrator Jennifer Phelan is a poignant story about a young boy hurrying to grow up so that he can keep a stray dog he found and loves.

The rumors are true: Norway is a beautiful country and the people we met were quite nice, laid back, and overall happy. Their English is excellent, their chocolate is divine, the air smells good, and their waffles are not to be missed. They have beautiful farms […]
