I believe Good Night Moon is on the “top ten list” of required items for new parents (along with diapers, wipes, car seat, etc.). This book written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd was one of the first books we read to our boys when they were babies. It was not long [...]
Lyman Frank Baum (1856–1919) was the creator, along with illustrator W. W. Denslow, of one of the most popular books ever written in American children’s literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, better known today as The Wizard of Oz. This tale takes us to far away places and is filled with magic, friendship, love, courage, [...]
My kids and I are big storytelling fans. The ritual of storytelling started when my boys were babies. My husband and I (or visiting relatives) often read to them from a book during the day and at bedtime, but my husband and I also like to tell our kids stories. Sometimes we fabricate the story [...]
Sir James Matthew Barrie (May 9, 1860 – June 19, 1937) was a Scottish novelist and dramatist. In our house, we know him as the man who wrote Peter Pan, the classic tale about the boy who never grows up. The story was first presented as a play in 1904, and in 1911 he turned [...]
We had a great time at the first Kidoinfo Crafts event! This FREE event was open to kids of all ages. Kids came and made pop-up cards while their parents shopped for books, toured the Rag & Bone studio or visited with friends at the Rag & Bone Bindery Spring Studio sale. We created cards [...]

His folksy style of singing draws kids and adults into his stories and gets them to participate. Pete Seeger has always had a place in my boys’ music collection. [...]

I’ve been a fan of Rag & Bone Bindery since I got my first handmade book from Jason in 1990. I met Jason and Ilira (owners of Rag & Bone Bindery) at an Oxfam Benefit Craft Show in Boston, where we were selling our crafts. I traded one of my coffee cup T-shirts for one [...]
The Giving Tree, written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein, is about the relationship between a tree and a young boy. I love his simple black ink illustrations combined with words placed so they seem to dance across the page. This story is open to many interpretations but I believe the story describes how much the [...]
