Our family absolutely loves Designed To Shine, Read Aloud Rhymes For Any Size Heart Volume Two by Joy Resor. As the title implies this is a wonderful collection of fun to read aloud poems that will bring a smile to your kid’s face and reminds us of the beauty and love that surrounds us. Do you love to hear your little ones giggle with delight? That is exactly what they will be doing as they listen to the most important person in their lives read these lyrical poems. We especially love that each poem shares wisdom that we can all benefit from. One of our favorite poems is titled Goofy, a fun rhyme that encourages grown ups to “lean into goofy” and asks “how would more goofy add fun to your day?” And we love that many of the poems remind kids to slow down, to rest and be present. This collection is a perfect way for families to encourage their kids to be more mindful. Lauren Connell’s illustration are simply magnificent. I think the best way to sum up this review is to say that we can’t wait for Designed To Shine Volume Three to be released!
