Readers Favorite Page - Lisa Goes to England
"It is a good book that will encourage children to learn about new places and will enable them to develop an interest in traveling to distant lands and discovering the customs and cultures there. Lisa, Holly, Jonathan, and Daniel are real and relatable characters and young readers will be able to identify with them. Illustrations always form an important part of any children’s storybook and this book also makes the concept clear with its charming illustrations. Apart from telling readers about the important places of interest, the story has an adventurous angle which makes the story fascinating. It is a good book to have in school libraries because of its educational content, and teachers and educators can use it for read aloud or story-telling sessions in classrooms."

Kindie Rock Stars Podcast
Kindie Rock Stars Podcast is dedicated to showcasing the amazing talents of children’s musicians and family entertainers. Each episode features an artist story, song story and song.
“Patrick Adams is a children’s book author as well as a kids’ musician. If that isn’t enough, Adams also has launched a podcast that celebrates his fellow creators of children’s music and books (so far it has been mainly musicians, however). Since starting the Kindie Rock Star in July, he has basically been released an episode a day. Each episode generally lasts from 12-20 minutes (although some are longer) and features Adams interviewing his guest and ends with one of the guest’s songs. The interviews, which are aimed for all ages (as opposed to being geared just for kids), deliver some interesting insights into the guests’ lives, careers, and their creative process. The Kindie Rock Star podcast serves a great source for both parents and children to learn more about the kids musicians they know or for discovering kindie acts they aren’t familiar with yet.”
