A gentle, memorable and rewarding way to teach kids how to put things back where they belong after each use.

Princess Katie and her best friend Murphy are always up to something! In this adventure, a rainy day keeps them from going outside to play. While being creative is wonderful, it causes a big mess in Katie's bedroom. The Queen teaches the Princess throughout the book, the importance of putting things back where they belong after each use to stay organized and always be able to find what she is looking for in the future. As an award winning Trained Professional Organizer and public speaker on how to get organized, it was important to me to help parents find a way to teach their children a very valuable life lesson. Putting things back where they belong is a large part of keeping clutter from gathering.

The Snowy Day


Book Description

The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly
