The following is a little bit of information about our contributors and what their interests are:
The1stdaughter (Danielle Smith):

“I’m a mother of two wonderful children, The Turkeybird and Littlebug, just under two years apart in age. I love to read, write, watch movies, play the flute, listen to music and just enjoy life. My love for my children and my love of books has merged and meet here on this site. Since the time I was very little I loved to read. The first book in a long line of favorites was Socks by Beverly Cleary. I remember never wanting to put it down and I have regained that love of books with the birth of my two children. In my endeavor to ensure that I carry this tradition of reading on in our home I will always fill it with books that make you dream, laugh, think and so many more things. This site is designed to help the others of you out there in search of the same thing find what you are looking for. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer.”

The Turkeybird:
“So, if I had my way I’d spend most of the day reading and learning out of my activity books with my mom, but sometimes she wants to read. When that happens I spend my down-time doing typical boy things. I love my train set, legos, tools, and of course anything with wheels (cars, trucks, planes, helicopters, etc.). I’m also an avid baker and I love making anything with chocolate when my dad (the Baker) will help me. Other than that, I’m a normal four year old boy who loves running, the outdoors and just being crazy.”

Littlebug:
“Well, I’ll put this simply, if I can put it in my mouth and chew, it’s the best thing ever. My big brother , the Turkeybird himself, is my absolute favorite person in the world (besides my dad of course) and everything he does is just amazing. I’m a jabber-jaw who can’t stop babbling and my first word just happened to be ‘dancing’. Oh, and I just turned two! I love to learn and I love reading just as much as everyone in my family, if not more!”

Good morning Danielle,
I have a blog (Be A Child Again) which features Best Family Books, mini-stories, interviews and more. I would appreciate the opportunity to interview you about your blog.
Sincerely,

Dear Danielle, aka First Daugher
i actually contacted you around about a year ago but have just now gotten my act together to ask for advice. I am still tweaking my website or my techie guy is and I’m extremely excited to have the opportunity to FINALLY blog, I am also very interested in your input. I want to know how to win awards and I plan to go to BEA this year so as much as you can tell me about that the better. I am on my way today to Kathy Patrick’s Girlfriends Weekend in Jefferson, Texas. I hope to blog about the writer’s/author’s convention from there. I am the retired teacher/administrator to help you recall who I am. Please feel free to give me tips. My mind is open to new ideas. Blessings, anita buice
