Celebrating Swedish Christmas Traditions and Foods

November 18, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

On any given day, you may hear as many as six different languages spoken in my home. My life and household have been diverse and multicultural for as long as I can remember. As the daughter of parents who emigrated from Sweden, I have been immersed in Nordic culture since childhood. So as you can imagine,  Celebrating Swedish Christmas Traditions and Foods, and also recognizing Santa Lucia has been a

Ways to Crush Your Holiday Shopping List Mask-Free!

November 12, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

The sweat is rolling down your back. Your facemask is inching its way up to your cheeks and all it will take is one more wiggle to send it straight into your eyeballs. Your stomach rolls because you are hungry as heck and the person in front of you in line smells like a delightful blend of chicken tenders and fresh-baked cookies. Your arms are so ladened with gifts that

Kidlit for Native American Heritage Month: The Otter, the Spotted Frog and the Great Flood 

November 8, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

The Otter, the Spotted Frog and the Great Flood 

This month I am revisiting some of my favorite family reads surrounding Native American Heritage Month. Many of these books were published a handful of years ago, but as such high quality, they deserve to remain on parents, educators, caregivers, and librarians radar. One such book is a Creek Indian tale called, The Otter, the Spotted Frog and the Great Flood by Gerald Hausman and beautifully illustrated by Ramon Shiloh. In this

Kidlit for Native American Heritage Month: The Hunter’s Promise: An Abenaki Tale 

November 5, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

The Hunter’s Promise: An Abenaki Tale 

I first saw this book when it was in galley form and it was breathtaking then. Actually holding the book in my hands is an experience I’m very happy with. The Hunter’s Promise: An Abenaki Tale told by long-time story-teller and author Joseph Bruchac and beautifully illustrated by Bill Farnsworth is a beautiful re-telling of an old story from the Abenaki Indians of Vermont and Canada. “Promise to remember me” was

Kidlit for Native American Heritage Month: Whispers of the Wolf

November 1, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

There is something truly magical about forming a bond with a wild animal. Do I need to say that one must exercise caution? However one doesn’t need to exercise caution when a bond is formed between a boy, a wolf, and the human reading the story. Such is the case with Whispers of the Wolf by Pauline Ts’o. This book is also perfect for Native American Heritage Month, or as it is

Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear

October 20, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear  is a wonderful children’s picture book by Lindsay Mattock and illustrated brilliantly by Sophie Blackall is not only charming in every way but completely captivating.   Before it won the Caldecott Medal 2016, I had seen it sitting on a variety of bookstore shelves but hadn’t picked it up yet. Honestly, I’m glad I waited because this book was like receiving

Sun Bread by Elisa Kleven and Happy Sun Bread Recipe

October 18, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

The temps are dipping and my outside world is a little on the cold and rainy side for days. I’m ready to see the sun, even though I know it won’t pack the warmth that the summertime rays typically have. This dreary weather makes me want to snuggle up with a good book and a cup of steaming tea. It also makes me want to BAKE! Wouldn’t it be fun if we

October 14, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

It’s Fall, Y’all! The idea of cooler weather in the forecast makes us all want to hunker down and get cozy in prep for many months of being indoors. BUT, with that recognition of autumn also comes the excitement of the yummy smells, tastes, traditions, and decor. Everyone at Audrey Press is looking forward to this holiday season even though things will likely look a bit different this year. At

Hybrid Book Buying | The 10% Shift Challenge

October 11, 2020 by Valarie Leave a Comment

Many years ago, there was a Buy Local initiative called 10% Shift Challenge: A Small Shift Can Make a Big Difference. The premise behind this campaign was to encourage people to shift 10% of their weekly buying AWAY from online sources and spend those dollars with local independently-owned businesses instead. Why? Because a 2003 study found each $100 spent at local independents generated $45 of secondary local spending, compared to

    Gorgeous descriptions of New Orleans paired with a brilliant take on vampire lore, all written with a truly authentic teen voice add up to one thing: Hannah Rials’s writing is breathing new life into the paranormal YA world.

    I always suspected that certain picture books give dragons an undeserved bad rap. This delightful picture book clears up dangerous and misleading misconceptions about dragons. Dragons, as it turns out, are gentle creatives that love sweets, hoard books, and, most certainly, are real! I'm getting the word out to my kids!

    What a beautiful book! The Waldorf Homeschool Handbook has given me much food for thought by reading it. I love it and even though we have already been homeschooling for almost 8 years now with children in highschool, it has been wonderfully refreshing and has encouraged me to relook at how we go about our homeschooling journey.
