Today’s cozy read‑aloud features Zombie in Love 2 + 1, a playful, affectionate picture book about Mortimer and Mildred adjusting to life with their new baby. Their world — full of loose limbs, late‑night feedings, and unexpected sweetness — is told with humor, warmth, and a deep respect for the tenderness inside every family, even zombie families.

For this video, I shaped the reading around a soft “Love in Unexpected Places” arc: how new parenthood stretches us, surprises us, and fills us with a kind of joy we didn’t know we had.

Before recording, I created a small index‑card collage:

a bright, funny Zombie in Love design centered in my handmade red‑with‑black‑dots frame. This creative ritual helps me enter the book’s world with clarity, playfulness, and affection.

🎥 Watch the full cozy read‑aloud and enjoy this humorous, heart‑lifting story about family, patience, and the sweetness of caring for someone new.

Today’s cozy read‑aloud features Grace for President, a lively, inspiring picture book that begins with one question and blossoms into a full‑hearted school election. Grace’s journey — from surprise to determination to leadership — is told with humor, warmth, and a deep respect for children’s sense of fairness.

For this video, I shaped the reading around a soft “Finding Your Voice” arc: how a single moment of noticing can lead to courage, participation, and a belief that you can make a difference.
