RWYK Special Edition with Kelly Tooman: The Birthday Triplets
Hey RWYK Family!!
In this special episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast, we’re celebrating the start of an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to help make the next chapter of The Birthday Triplet series a reality! We’re delighted to be joined by Kelly Tooman, a Children’s book author, and creative writing teacher, living in Cleveland, Ohio.
Kelly is the co-author of The Birthday Triplets series and she is joining us today to talk about her new picture book. Kelly created this series with her mom to teach kids empathy. Each morning, Candi, Cookie and Coco Birthday dance into one of their Granny Rosie’s magical adventures to find someone sad whose birthday has been forgotten. It is not until the end of their journey that they discover the mystery of who.
We love supporting crowdfunding campaigns for so many different reasons. Most of all because it gives us an opportunity to support projects that are near and dear to our hearts. We love projects that are family oriented as it helps kids understand that their family is a part of making something special come true. We believe that The Birthday Triplets by Kelly Tooman, illustrated by Lynn Tooman-Cser is one of those projects that will make you and your family proud to support. It’s all about Friendship and treating everyone with love and respect.
