Celebrating Moose Style!

Last week was our Moo's birthday, and we couldn't let her special day go by without a MOOSE-tacular celebration!  We also thought it appropriate to make her our "MOOse of the Month" on our website!  

First, we sang Happy Birthday and took a picture with our Moo.  We swear she is looking more and more like us each year!

Then, we showered her with gifts!

The Mickey Moose watch is my favorite gift.  I helped our Pop pick it out.  It matches my outfit so well, but  I will be sure to let my Moo wear it too.

Stay tuned for some upcoming book news!

Come Meet Jimmy and Mark

Jimmy was on cloud nine during Show and Tell when his classmates cheered for him and his best friend, Mark the Moose.  That happiness quickly ended when Mark went from being Jimmy's sidekick to becoming the missing moose.

Saddened and angry, Jimmy didn't want to talk to anyone, not even his own mother.  His best friend was gone and he was all alone!

When it was time for Show and Tell again, Jimmy didn't want any part of it until he heard what his friend Joe had to say...

Follow Jimmy as his discovers that opening up and letting others in can really help him out.

 Mark the Missing Moose will be released this summer!

My Hero, My Ding - A Memoir of a Girl and Her Grandfather!  

(Even though it's not about moose, it's a great read!)

Here is what others have said -

"This is a touching memoir that is engaging, enlightening, and a testimony to the lifetime influence that grandparents can have on their grandchildren. America needs more books like this --- in families, in churches, and in schools."  Tom McQueen, Author

"My Hero, My Ding is a sweet memoir of the precious relationship between Lisa and her grandfather. It is filled with priceless memories of the special times they shared together. Lisa and her "Ding" had a special bond that could only come from the endless hours they invested in one another. Sometimes, I even wondered...were they ever apart?

Reading through Lisa's memoir brought back warm memories of my own grandparents; the time, energy, and love they chose to invest in me. In fact, in several ways, "Ding" reminded me of my dear Grandpa Mac. They both shared such childlike qualities.

My Hero, My Ding is a good read, and I especially recommend it to all grandparents. Let this book shed light on the beauty that a relationship between a grandparent and a grandchild can bring."
Lisa Suggs Author of -Choices

"My Hero, My Ding" by Lisa A. Tortorello, a memoir of a Girl and her Grandfather. In this heart warming, endearing and life-touching story this Author shares her most treasured memories - times with her Grandfather. Although he became a jewelry maker and jewelry store owner, he gave her a rare gem, time and love, more precious than any of the jewels he had made. She found a rare treasure in their relationship - a treasure that would last a lifetime. These cherished memories etched a portrait in her life of not just a grandfather, but a hero. He left behind for her a treasure worth far more than gold. This book will touch your heart and reflect to other families to not let disagreements weigh you down, but perhaps be lifted by the spirit of love, that we can all possibly be the "hero" in the lives of those we love."  
Ren. R. Royal, Author
