Not the Boss of Us by Kay Wills Wyma

I have felt recently that I am overwhelmed by life. Yet, here in this book Kay Wyma shares about Truth that we can share with ourselves and others so that we can fight back from being overwhelmed. 

I love how the title and content of each chapter shares with the reader one way they could be overwhelmed and how instead to focus their thoughts.  This is so important. As one who struggles in this area, I want help to know how to focus my thoughts, and this book does just that.  The end of each chapter has "Water Stations" where you are given practical tips with stories to help the reader to get another view of what the author is trying to share.

I recommend this book to other readers.

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Crack Yourself Up: Jokes for Kids by Sandy Silverthorne

This is book for kiddos who love jokes.  The book is for ages 6-12 and definitely is for that age range.  There are a variety of jokes to make you laugh.  Question and answer ones. Knock, knock jokes.  Stories.  It is a fun way for kids to laugh and joke with each other. 

The only note I have is that a few times the jokes said "dummy" or references to being stupid.  That's definitely not something I would want my kids sharing or talking about.
