Hi Little Brother, I Love You: A Sweet Gift Keepsake Book Welcoming a New Baby Brother to the Family. by Deniese Dennis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hi Little Brother, I Love You by Deniese Dennis is a great kids book

An exciting period of development and change occurs when a new baby brother joins the family. By encouraging acceptance and involvement in taking care of a younger brother, this book is excellent for preparing your “not so little one” for the new position of big brother. The big brother in this endearing book is ecstatic to have a younger sibling and gives him a kiss upon arrival. Big brother is excellent at teaching the baby how to do things, from playing peek-a-boo to teaching them that cows moo. Not only does he assist in determining the baby’s requirements and teach them how to share, but his greatest contribution as a big brother is his unwavering presence and friendship.

This is a great book for kids who are getting a sibling. This shows them a greater understanding of the meaning of having a sibling

Productivity is Power: Five Liberating Practices for College Students by Hillary Rettig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Productivity is Power: 5 Liberating Practices for College Students by Hillary Rettig is a great young adult self-help book

College students are under probably more strain than they have ever been. In a down economy, it is even more crucial to graduate with a strong plan, secure excellent internships or work-study opportunities, and achieve excellent grades. At every level, there is fierce rivalry and a lot of stress. Social media isn’t helping in the interim. It is not only incredibly distracting, but it also sends out a lot of messages that are harmful, harsh, competitive, and unpleasant. Concurrently, you are likely facing all the “usual” productivity obstacles that the majority of people encounter, such as procrastination, perfectionism, and time constraints.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what I would learn next. I really would love to implement everything I learn. I’m hoping I gain all the help as a mom of two kids. I will implement them not to fall behind.
