Great giveaway, thank you.
I adore these contests. I send wins to my grandson that I haven’t gotten to meet, yet. He is 5, but his father (my oldest son) is a single father, a full-time student in college, AND a full-time soldier in the Army. Thanks for doing these! They help keep me connected to my grandson!
A sweet story about power of emotions .
My niece, nephew, and I would really enjoy this book. We will definitely be checking it out .
My Emotion Ninja would be called Belle, after my dog who passed 6 years ago, and her superpower would be to protect me against adult bullying.
