I attended my first book launch today! The Best Bookstore in Palm Springs (California) is not in the database, so I tagged the book! It's a beautiful journal filled with awesome ideas for adventures big and small that we can enjoy with the youngest people in our lives! The bookstore is a sweet little spot chock-full of great books and fun and friendly staff! I am so filled with exclamation marks, they are spilling into every sentence!!

Maggie Downs's second book just came out, and I can see this book becoming a must-gift for new and expectant parents (and grandparents!) in my life. The list includes activities ranging from the simple---"Sing together"---to the more ambitious---"Visit a wonder of the world." Best of all, each activity is paired with prompts and journal space to reflect on and savor each completed activity, with extra pages for your own adventures and drawings.

ImperfectCJ In the interest of full disclosure, Maggie and I were in junior high together (we participated in the same writing competitions, but only Maggie became a journalist and author), but I am pretty sure that I would love this book even if we hadn't. 2mo
