Every day, the world tries to tell us who we are. Sometimes it speaks through rejection. Sometimes through failure. And sometimes through wounds so deep that the pain of what happened to us becomes the measure of what we believe we deserve. 🪞💔🥀

But the beliefs formed in childhood rarely remain there. They follow us into our relationships, influence the choices we make, and quietly shape the person we see in the mirror. Before long, shame can begin to feel like identity—and simply surviving can take the place of truly living. ⛓️😔⛓️

And so, one sister in Christ who spent years believing she was not worth saving is now helping others separate the labels placed upon them from who God created them to be—proving that the past may mark our story, but it cannot cancel the purpose written for our lives. 🦋🙏🏻🕊️

Jeanette Crystal Bradley joins Tom Nolan on @TCTTV's TCT Today to share how we turn painful chapters into powerful testimony and reclaim our God-given identity—and a look inside the pages of her new book, A Crown Bigger Than Me. 👑📖📺

Getting kids to share can turn even the smallest moments into the biggest battles. 😤

From Halloween candy to favorite toys, the struggle over what's mine and what's yours is familiar to parents everywhere. But behind those everyday tug-of-wars is a bigger challenge—teaching children that sharing isn't about losing something, but learning to consider someone else. 🍬 🤼 🧸

And so, on the heels of Halloween, one veteran preschool educator is tackling a challenge that families know all too well—helping parents turn the struggle to share into a lesson that sticks. 🎃 🫱🏿‍🫲🏻 🫶🏻

Ruth Don Shevlin sits down with @WEWS' Good Morning Cleveland to share her new children's book, Esmeralda and the Lollipop Tree—and how teaching children to share early can shape the way they treat others for years to come. 🍭📖📺 @MikeHoldenNews @MiriamLaundry

A family tree can tell children where they come from. The stories behind it can help them understand who they are. 🌳

Behind every name are choices, challenges, and chapters that shaped the generations that followed—giving kids a personal way to connect with a past that might otherwise feel far removed from their lives. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻🧬👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

And so, in celebration of Family History Month, one passionate educator is bringing his own family’s past to the page—helping families nationwide look beyond the branches of their family trees and into the stories that shape them. 👪🏻🌱👪🏽

Bradley Wright sits down with @MiaTV and James Shippy on @KOINNews' AM Extra to share how families can put the story back in their family history—and offer a look inside the pages of his new middle-grade historical novel, 13 Moons (published by @ReycraftBooks). ✍🏻📖📺

HOLY DOG: This priest has a four-legged companion who refuses to miss a moment of Mass!

Nina, a dog in Argentina, joins Father German Alassia at church and is seen reaching up toward him as the congregation sings.

The sweet moment comes with a funny detail: A local source says Nina knows when the service is nearly finished and starts getting impatient because she's ready for her walk!

Chicago really knows how to rally behind an underdog. 🐾❤️🐾

Yet for pups awaiting adoption in the Windy City, there are no cheering crowds or championship parades. Their victories come in quieter moments—a visitor who stops, a connection that clicks, a kennel door that opens onto a new life. 🥹

And so, in honor of Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, one 12-year-old trailblazer is championing their comeback—and calling on Chicago families to put hometown pride into action and give homeless paws a home. 🐶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏙️

12-Year-Old Philanthropist, Amelie Anastasia, joins @KyeMartinNBC on @NBCChicago News Today to share how the Second City and our neighbors nationwide can give shelter dogs a second chance—and the stories behind her new children’s book, Shelter Dogs: Stories of Rescued Furever Friends. 🐕📖📺

All online sales of Shelter Dogs during the first two weeks of November will be donated to @PAWSChicago to support their rescue efforts, provide lifesaving care, and help end the overpopulation of homeless animals in the Windy City: https://t.co/NFFP8nxxqB. 🐾🫶🐾

For parents, getting children excited about reading can take more than finding a good story. Sometimes, it starts with a question that makes them want an answer. 🤔

Science delivers both surprises and compelling stories for today’s youth. Bold ideas. Failed experiments. Breakthroughs that reshaped our world. Behind each success is a story of trial and error—where setbacks build suspense and the search for a solution keeps kids turning the page. 🔬💡📖

And so, in celebration of National Book Month, one @USNavy graduate is inspiring families across the country to transform science into storytime—pairing the power of reading with the pull of discovery. ⚓📚🚀

Jennifer Swanson joins @WBALJFro on @WBALTV 11 Saturday Morning to share how big breakthroughs can build a love of literacy in kids—and give us a look inside her new book, @AtlasObscura's Explorer’s Guide to Inventing the World (co-authored by @DylanThuras | published by @WorkmanPub): https://t.co/tuwP89OK4a. ⚙️🌎📺

From the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario to the trails and parks where families spend their weekends, nature gives children across Western New York, Southern Ontario, and around the world plenty of reasons to care about the planet. 🌊🌳🌎

But when conversations turn to climate change, wonder can give way to worry—and leave young minds questioning whether small steps can make a difference. 😔

And so, in recognition of International Day of Climate Action, one former kindergarten teacher is turning the page on that uncertainty—showing children that a changing world is still a world they can help shape. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻🌱👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

Award-Winning Children's Author, @JyotiGopal, sits down with @BTPMNews' @RyanZRadio share how parents and educators can turn storytime into a starting point for climate action and guide children from concern to confidence—and a lopk inside inside the pages of her new book, Arctic Adventure: A Tundra Tale (published by Feiwel & Friends | @MacKidsBooks): https://t.co/0HyR0ZxyAC. ❄️📖📺 @HGLiterary @zandramims @MacKidsSL

“What number is this, Chip?”
“7-A!”

This weekend marks the anniversary of “Daydream Believer,” released on October 25, 1967.

Written by John Stewart of the Kingston Trio, and produced by Chip Douglas, it became one of those records that seemed to be an instant hit. Davy sang the lead, I sang harmony, Mike played guitar, Peter played piano, and Chip was there on bass and percussion. Shorty Rogers supplied the orchestral arrangement.

The single became our third No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, holding the top spot for four weeks. It also reached No. 1 in Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa, No. 2 in Australia and Norway, No. 4 in Germany and Japan, and No. 5 in the U.K.

Peter came up with that instantly recognizable piano introduction, and the B-side was “Goin’ Down.” It had actually been recorded during the sessions for PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES LTD., but wound up appearing on THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES instead.

Let's hear it for "Daydream Believer!"

With the new school year underway, children across the country have settled into classrooms where their progress will be measured in letters, scores, and percentages. But those marks can only show how a child is performing—not who that child is becoming. 📋🏫🌱

Grades measure right answers—not the courage to ask questions, the compassion to include others, the creativity to think differently, or the determination to try again. Yet when achievement becomes the only scoreboard, children can begin mistaking a number for their worth. 😔

And so, an Australian educator is looking beyond the grades and across the globe—ready to shift the back-to-school conversation and remind families and educators that a report card may record a child’s progress, but it should never write the story of their potential. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻🌏👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

Jennifer Louise sits down with @ABC6NEWS to share the meaning behind her new book, Pearl: A children’s book about growing through adversity (published by @MiriamLaundry Publishing), and how she hopes it will help kids navigate challenges during the school year and beyond. 🦪📖📺

From the astonishing life hidden in the Amazon to the ingenious inventions hiding in plain sight, there’s a story behind how things thrive—and how things work. 🌴🔍⚙️

For kids, a closer look can turn an everyday observation into a question worth pursuing—and a moment of surprise into a spark for learning more. 💡

And so, one standout science communicator is connecting nature’s wonders with human ingenuity—showing young readers how much there is to learn when curiosity leads the way. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻✨👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿
