Don't forget to join the family at our NEW FB PAGE as the LRB page will be deleted come December 2011.
With sweaty palms and a racing heart!
It brings me a ginormous amount of joy to finally be able to put this in writing. As many of you know, I fell off from the face of the Earth after my firstborn; Keith. While I dearly missed blogging here, I knew that I'd wanted to do more. Loads more. In timely fashion, I was approached by a sweet lady who expressed her interest in buying over / investing in the growth of LRB. Now as insanely excited that made me, I had many other factors to consider. I thought things through, weighed my options, and financial situation and decided to take that plunge. Yep, we're going full-time, baby! I'm trigger excited by all that buzz around me. You'll find the néw and loads more beautiful us, over at Beautiful Revelry from the 1st December 2011. :D Do pop by and say hi!

Today I Love : KidKraft Sling Bookshelf
This indeed is a walk down memory's lane for me! I love how these bookshelves resemble those commonly found in preschools here. Simple, and child-friendly, I've spent countless hours, curled up near these shelves ( or at least, their look-alikes ) reading out loud with my little students.

Rave Reads: Inspired by Charley Harper
Image from Charley Harper Prints
We've been loving the wildlife illustrations by Charley Harper, so imagine our delight when we actually found some children books that incorporated his works!
This little board book teaches the alphabet while incorporating Harper's illustrations, and is a great way of introducing art to children. There is another book covering number as well, and our little boy loves pouring over the pictures and identifying the animals.

And if oohing and ahhing over his art isn't enough, how about taking his style as a springboard, and doing Harper-inspired crafts with your child? Verity over at The Light Garden created some lovely pieces of art with her son, based on Harper's illustrations, which you can view here. I hope these inspire you to get crafty!
