Take Heart, My Child - A Mother`s Dream (Ages 2+ )
By ;Ainsley Earhardt & Kathryn Cristaldy Illustrated by ; Jaime Kim
Publisher ; Simon & Schuster ( November 2016 )

A wonderful lyrical expression of a mother`s love! The author explains her dedication for her child through elegant illustrations and catchy lines. A lullaby that children could relate to, and will cherish in their hearts as much as grown ups.
These beautifully created verses are filled with love and words of wisdom. The soft shaded images done in acrylic are mesmeric and supports the lyrics well.
"May your feet trace new patterns / On warm, sandy shores / May you dive into waves / And yearn to explore / But if you get lost / In the oceans vast tides / Take heart , my child / I`ll be by your side"............

I Want That Love.
By ; Tatsuya Miyanishi ( Ages 4+ )
Publisher ; Museyon ( December 2016 )

It is the third book in line of Tatsuya Miyanishi`s Tyrannosaurus series. The scary Tyrannosaurus returns with another inspirational story. The action packed line-up of events together with its well-honed illustrations can easily keep the listeners focused. And eventually they will grasp the moving message of "spreading love" versus "tyrannizing".

The mean, giant Tyrannosaurus is the strongest of all and believes that the strongest is the most powerful and rules the world - until he succumbs to old age. Fragile and slow, he cannot tyrannize the small and weak anymore and becomes the target of them instead. Later, having left the area where he had lived, he is cared for by a group of little Triceratops. The kindness and help offered by the little ones slowly change the beastly Tyrannosarus' beliefs as he realizes that love is more powerful and precious than physical strength. This moving tale will give us grown ups pause as it reminds us about aging, decline and selfless love & a little bit of Shel Silverstain`s "The giving Tree" as well.
