I’m so excited to share with you a unique book, family tradition, and experience today! A couple weeks ago, Joni sent me a copy of “The Night before My Birthday Book,” which was perfect timing because my daughter turned 3 a couple weeks ago. We read this book on the eve of her birthday, and she loved it.
Do you remember getting excited the night before your birthday? I do. It’s like when the sun comes up, you will magically be a whole year older (not quite as fun at my age) with new adventures and chapters of your life ready to be embarked upon. Tucson author Joni Rubinstein, M.Ed and Scottsdale illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal capture this excitement that children feel before their big day in The Night Before My Birthday Book (Three Hearts Presents, 2013).
The Night Before My Birthday Book eloquently and creatively celebrates your child on the night before their birthday. As you read the book there are blank spaces for you to fill in their age and customize how you read the book each year. At the end of the book there are a few pages for you to record which child you read to on which birthday, and even which of their dreams came true that year. This will be fun for us since we have multiple kids that we will be reading this to each year. I so look forward to documenting their words, hopes, and dreams in this way. This book will definitely add to our family traditions around birthday. My daughter thought the whole book was written just for her to read on her special night. In our home we strive to celebrate the births, lives, and stories of each member of our family on their birthdays. This is such a concrete was to engage your children (young and older) each year.
How would you like to start this new tradition with the special kids in your life? Joni has generously offered to give one winner their own “The Night Before My Birthday Book”! Comment below to enter!!
