Hsien mentioned the trend towards Easter baskets being filled with toys and asked what others put in their children’s baskets.
Since our oldest celebrated her first Easter, our tradition has been to include a book with the basket, which is filled with a small chocolate bunny and just a few other candies.

Facing a hospital visit with your child where you know that a blood stick and other unpleasantries will need to take place? Perhaps Sandy the Starfish, a lift-the-flap book by Laura Young, can help prepare both of you.

Double Pink written by Kate Feiffer and illustrated by Bruce Ingman was a book that, I’m serious, could have written about my daughter!!! Well, at […]
