or you're in the mood for some 

creative bookshelf organization

This week The Sisters discovered Shawn the Sheep and learned all about stop motion animation (yes, they have plans to make their own stop motion film.) 

And yesterday The Mom found this little movie treasure that marries The Dad's passion for classical guitar, The Sisters recent find, and our mutual love, BOOKS:

When We Were Very Young Challenge

Take five minutes. (Please.)

Now think of reading and books,
take a deep breath,
try to clear your mind and think back,
way back,
think of  a memory,
a first memory 
of books and reading. 

What do you remember? 

In the comments below, 

tell us your story!

Books with Heart Challenge

This one is easy, maybe.

This week I, The Mom, was asked by a BFWP Reader for a book suggestion, 

"Any good ideas for heart books, books that give hope but also have a great story to escape into... something ala Secret Life of Bees (by Sue Monk Kidd) or The Help (by Kathryn Stockett)?"

Instead of pulling a books from my muddy memory 

I decided to ask you, 

Dear Readers, 

for a little help...

So please take this week's BFWP Reader inspired challenge: 

can you think of a heart book, 

a book that 

gives hope 

but also has 

a great story to escape into?
