I'm on tour today with The Children's Book Review with a cute picture book perfect for summer. I'm thrilled to have the author, Kimber Morgan with a guest post today. Enjoy and don't forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom of the post!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Chipper the Fox and his Arctic friends travel to summer camp for fun in the sun! After an amazing summer, how will they stay in touch with their new friends and keep their summer adventure going?

Review:

Chipper Sends Sunshine is perfect for young readers as it is a lively story about a group a friends who meet at camp. They want to stay in touch by sending mail but something always goes wrong. A box gets a hole or snow melts in the mail. When they see each other again they come up with the perfect way to keep in touch. I loved the beautiful illustrations that brought the story to life. There are more pictures than words on the pages so a young reader just learning to read will love. This fun and imaginative book will delight any child.


Guest Post by Kimber Fox Morgan, author of Chipper Sends Sunshine

I had a pen pal growing up. Her name was Julie. She was my best friend and next-door neighbor who moved away when we were ten years old. We lived in Florida, and she first moved to France and then ended up in California, so she wasn’t close at all. We wrote letters back and forth for years. There were some phone calls and visits as well, but it was mostly letters. It was long before email, Facebook, and instant messaging. Thus, the letters were the golden tickets. I loved sending and I really loved receiving them. Our friendship has continued and grown for over 40 years, and she is still my best friend. I am so thankful that we kept in touch in those early days as I can’t imagine my life without her.

Mailing letters and cards is somewhat of a lost art, but I always feel a little excited when I receive something in the mail. In Chipper Sends Sunshine, I wanted to introduce a way to keep in touch with friends or family when you can’t be together. Chipper and his friends “MAIL A HUG” to their camp friends who live in different parts of the world. Essentially this easy craft is decorated handprints connected by ribbon to give the illusion of mailing a hug.  Who wouldn’t love to receive a hug in the mail? This is the perfect gift to send to someone who you care about. The free craft download is available on my website, www.KimberFoxMorgan.com

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Today I have the first book in a new series to share with you. Lauren Carr's Sam Mackade PI Mystery series starts with The Prime Suspect . Book Description: Two murders with one common denominator. Both victims betrayed Bryce Greyson. How could she not be the prime suspect? Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater.

The book opens with a cast or character (in order of appearance) that is super handy to reference back to (plus for physical books!) when you are learning the characte
