Synopsis

Spending time with family and friends is important. Sometimes our schedules become so hectic we forget to slow down and really interact with one another. Time Together, Time Well Spent reminds us how much fun families can have playing games, building forts, riding bikes, and reading books together. Sharing these simple joys lets us get to know each other and ourselves more deeply, and often leads to many more fun adventures. Time together really is time well spent! “A wonderful antidote to the presence of increasingly isolation-heavy media and technology.” —Midwest Book Review “At its core, this book does what good books do—has you start from page one again upon its conclusion.” —Zachary Pullen, acclaimed author and illustrator Los Angeles Book Festival Winner 2012 Children’s Book Category, Honorable Mention

About this title

About the Author

My passion has always been with children. It started at an early age and has brought me much fulfillment. In my early teenage years, I began teaching swimming lessons. During my late college years, I moved onto assistant coaching in both swimming and downhill skiing and then eventually into the classroom (both elementary and preschool). My degree is a Masters in Elementary Education with a early childhood special needs endorsement. Each area has taught me new lessons, but I found a renewed sense of love for children's books once I entered the classroom, especially the preschool setting. I found that reading and sharing books with the children around me built a spark that has been ignited for years, writing my own ideas for books by the bedside lamp. I feel my family and friends, my career choices and where I live have impacted who I am today and my dreams I am trying to live out.

Don't fall asleep; There's too much action! Running, chasing, Snoring, sleeping ...

Playing cards, You and me. I went out— Can't you see?

Count your cards; See who won. Continue on— With a brand–new hand.

Don't give up! There are more points to be made! Gather, shuffle, Pass them out!

Dancing, dancing, Around and around, All throughout Our living room—
