a new day, a new book from mo willems {his LAST in this series} + giveaway {#thankorama #ad}

This post was sponsored by Disney-Hyperion, all opinions are still my own. Thanks for allowing me to share with you!With summer quickly approaching, I am all about gathering some fun items that will help pass the time. Sure, there are going to be outings and all the fun stuff you do in the summer months when the kids are home, but what about on rainy days? Or what about on days when Mom is feeling under the weather…or the days when mom just needs to CLEAN.THE.HOUSE. Yah, that. So….our kids love to read and that’s typically something that’s a go-to in the summer months.

A fun addition to our library here at home came the beginning of May, and if you follow us on Instagram, you will have already seen it. A sneak peak, so to speak. I WANTED to share this with you guys a lot sooner, but I had been spending a lot of time with my Grandpa and family, and I just ran OUT of time to share. But, never fear…it eventually gets to you!
Mo Willems books are some of the favorites in our home, so to learn about a new one stat was quite exciting. This one didn’t disappoint either! His books are witty, funny and the drawings are so simplistic, you wouldn’t think they would be loved so much. But they are! I love that the books are so simple, because our new AND old readers enjoy every.single.line.

With the context of this book being “to thank”, I thought it was quite applicable in thanking my family for all they’ve done. With my grandfather’s recent passing, it was quite fun to think back and write single line thank yous, from the kids, to family members. Loved this little exercise. Helped us cherish the time we had with him, and have fun while remembering and writing the lines.

Gerald is careful. Piggie is not.

Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can.
