We've met this sweet, child-like character, Little Mole, previously in Little Mole Finds Hope and Little Mole's Christmas Gift. Author Glenys Nellist and illustrator Sally Garland team up again with the new book Little Mole Goes to School. He is a worrier, as many of us are. True to the characteristics of a real mole, Little Mole can't see well. He is envious of Little Squirrel who has excellent vision, and other animals who have skills and characteristics he lacks. But Little Mole is given the opportunity to show his strength when they get trapped in a tunnel. He finds out that everyone is good at different things. This precious story explores the anxiety children feel when starting school and includes a parents page to address this important issue. Little Mole was hesitant about starting school, but by the end of the book, he can't wait to go back the next day. This a great book to help children prepare for that important milestone. I was asked to help promote this book and will receive a free copy, but I also preordered this book for a special child in my life. I highly recommend it! -- Amy Houts, author of Christian Q&A Book for Kids

Here's my 5-star Amazon review: There’s so much to love about this new picture book by best-selling author Michelle Medlock Adams and Cecil Stokes. I Love You to the Sun and Beyond! takes readers on a journey from the depths of the Mariana Trench to the International Space Station, from the Great Wall of China to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, from the Taj Mahal to the Amazon River. Why? For a father and son to show how high, how long, how loud, how great their love is for each other. Gorgeous artwork by Jonathan Bouw illustrates this multicultural book with text that employs humor, rhyme, and fun, child-like language. Plus, the “Fact & Figures” listing in the back helps children learn more. So glad I was given access to a digital copy of this book to write my review. I highly recommend this book for parents, grandparents, and anyone who wants to communicate their love. –Amy Houts, author of Christian Q&A Book for Kids
