 Be sure to check out these adorable children's books written by Lilith Ivy von Satis!

📚🐶Tubs Loves Pats

🐾Book Description:

This enchanting children's book tells the heartwarming story of Tubs, a gentle Pitbull who transforms lives with her love for affectionate pats. Perfect for young readers and dog lovers alike, this tale teaches kindness, compassion, and the power of understanding. 

🐾My Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This delightful little tale for children proves that kindness, affection, and appreciation don't have to cost a thing. Tubs is a playful and friendly pitbull who initially gets a bad rap by being judged for her type of breed. Yet she has a very special message for children that teaches them to look deep inside of someone to see who they really are and not to judge someone based on their appearance alone. You can see how even if Tubs seems big and intimidating to other people, she really has a gentle and kind spirit inside of her.

All Tubs really wants in life are pats of affection and to love and spread joy and kindness to others around her. It's the little things in life that don't cost a thing that are worth the most! Children can learn a lot from this and apply it to their own lives.

The illustrations are adorable and perfectly captures Tubs' friendly and animated personality. Kids will absolutely love them (and parents, too!), and it will draw them right into the story and keep them engaged.

I highly recommend this lovely book for children to read and enjoy over and over again. It would make an excellent addition to a children's library, or even an animal shelter waiting room.

📚🐈Plumeria Aesthetics

🐾Book Description: 

This delightful children's book brings to life the adventures of Plumeria, a stylish kitten with a flair for grooming and a heart full of creativity. Set in a peaceful forest glen, this story captivates young readers as they join Plumeria on her journey to transform her furry friends into fashion icons.

🐾My Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is an adorable, inspirational, and educational story that teaches children the value of hard work, believing in yourself, and going after your dreams.

Plumeria the friendly Sphynx cat opens up her own beauty parlor in hopes of becoming a successful entrepreneur, and she certainly does well for herself! After years of training and hard work, her efforts pay off, leading to many happy clients. I like how children will be introduced to new vocabulary such as "aesthetics" (it's never too soon to learn new words!) and see (both in the text and illustrations) exactly what it looks like.

The bright and adorable illustrations capture Plumeria's sparkling and friendly personality perfectly. Children will be able to see how her expert styling skills make her glow and feel proud of herself. The illustrations will keep kids engaged throughout the whole book and make them want to read it over and over again.

The author does a great job with character development and authenticity in showing how Plumeria grows as a stylist and becomes more confident in herself. I love how her clients show so much appreciation for both her talents and hospitality, and this is a great lesson for children on the value of showing gratitude and kindness to others. It has a ripple effect in that the more of it you give out, the more will come back to you, which is the gift that keeps on giving.

I highly recommend this book to all children to read and enjoy (and I'm sure their parents will love reading it to them as well!).

📚🐈Plumeria and Her Lost Green Knit Mouse Doll

🐾Book Description: 

Introduce your child to the enchanting world of imagination with "Plumeria's Playful Adventures"! This delightful children's book tells the heartwarming story of Plumeria, a mischievous Sphynx kitten who embarks on a thrilling quest to find her favorite green knit mouse doll. Perfect for children aged 3-8, this charming tale will spark joy and curiosity in every young reader.

🐾My Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a very sweet story for children that teaches them them the importance of patience, perseverance, and making the best out of any situation. Plumeria can't find her favorite mouse doll one day, and she searches everywhere for it. She feels very sad and disappointed and finally gives up, going back inside her cottage to rest. Yet a very special friend just happens to appear, showing Plumeria that when you accept a situation for what it is and try to make the best of it, magic can happen.

Children will also learn how important gratitude is and to appreciate what and who they already have in their lives. This is something they will all be able to understand and relate to. I loved witnessing Plumeria's special connection with her mouse doll.

The character development in this story is very impressive in that you can see the growth in Plumeria towards the end of the story, and she showcases her earnest emotions both visually (in the beautiful illustrations) and description-wise in the text as well. The setting is perfect for this story in her cozy little cottage she loves to explore.

I highly recommend this story to children everywhere to read and enjoy. This would especially be great to add to a children's library or classroom.

📚🐈Plumeria Has a Tea Party With Friends

🐾Book Description: 

Step into a world of enchantment with Plumeria's Tea Party! This delightful children's book is a must-have for every young reader, bringing to life the whimsical adventures of Plumeria, the charming Sphynx cat. Perfectly crafted for children aged 3-8, it invites them into a lush garden filled with friendship, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 

🐾My Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a very heartwarming story for children that teaches them the value of kindness, friendship, community, generosity, and gratitude. Plumeria is so excited to have a tea party one afternoon and invites all her friends and neighbors to attend. She spends all morning making special treats and getting the garden set up for a lovely get-together. Plumeria is so thankful for her friends and special community that she can connect with for a special and enjoyable afternoon, and this is her way of giving back and showing her appreciation. Her friends and neighbors are so grateful to have Plumeria in their lives. What a kind and generous person she is!

The illustrations are enchanting and beautifully show the rich setting and whimsical atmosphere of her home and garden. Children will immediately be hooked into this special story (and I bet their parents will, too!). You can easily see Plumeria's glowing personality reflected in the illustrations, which is so lovely to witness. This book will inspire children to reach out to others and have their own fancy occasion with their friends and classmates (delicious tea and special treats would make a great bonus!). The value of kindness, generosity, and friendship is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

I highly recommend this book to all children, and it would make an excellent gift for a special celebration.

New Book for Women Coming Out in June! 📚☀️💕🌸🌼🏵🪷

 

Here is a sneak peak at an amazing new book for women 40+ coming out next month! 📚☀️💕🌸

📚"Keep on Glowing: Your Guide to Graceful Empowerment and Unstoppable Glow" by Robin Emtage 

📚Book Description: "Keep On Glowing: Your Guide to Graceful Empowerment and Unstoppable Glow" is a transformative companion for women 40+ who are ready to stand in their truth, protect their peace, and glow from within. Written by Robin Emtage—Beauty Stylist, Holistic Glow Expert, and Founder of SILKTÁGE—this book is rooted in powerful mindset shifts, self-honoring practices, and glow-enhancing rituals that strengthen your boundaries, deepen your self-worth, and awaken the radiance that comes from knowing who you are. This is a celebration of personal power—not perfection. It’s not about fighting time—it’s about glowing through it, naturally and unapologetically.

📚 My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What an incredibly empowering and refreshing read for women ages 40 and above! This amazing book teaches older women how to find their inner glow and own their power unapologetically. It's refreshing that the author doesn't shy away from aging or tell you how you should look or act. She actually embraces aging, while at the same time encourages you to be as healthy and active as possible (which has a natural bonus of making you feel and look younger as a result!). She's realistic in recognizing that aging is inevitable, which we all know deep down. What this book is really about is how aging doesn't have to be a bad thing or a weakness. It's not about our physical appearance or abilities, but rather our inner radiance and strength. So you're actually growing stronger, wiser, and more beautiful as you age, which is such a wonderful way of looking at it (and it's true!).

This book is filled with helpful and enjoyable strategies, tips, advice, and resources. My favorite exercises were the journaling prompts (which I've always found to be therapeutic and healing), positive affirmations and self-talk, and creative visualization. I also particularly enjoyed reading the skin care section and finding advice about using certain products for maintaining smooth and supple skin.

I like how the author encourages women to own their unique style (ex: their wardrobe, accessories, makeup, etc.) and that it is a reflection of their personality and inner strength. It isn't about trying to look like someone younger or fitting society's expectation of what looks good. It's not about blending in or shrinking yourself, but standing out and embracing your uniqueness. You are owning your power and expressing your unique and beautiful self, and no one can take that away from you.

Some other aspects of this book that I found to be encouraging and inspirational is making time for daily self-care rituals (remember, habits don't happen overnight), visualizing your goals and future, showing kindness and gratitude towards the special people in your life (and she explains how kindness creates a beautiful ripple effect), slowing down and appreciating the little everyday moments in your life (especially laughter!), and expressing yourself creatively (my personal favorites are painting, drawing, writing, and jewelry-making). 

Lastly, I really like the term "glow" that the author uses in the title and throughout the book. It's something that starts within you but is also reflected through you to the outside and shines upon others. It represents vitality, energy, light, youthfulness, playfulness, and so much more. It's beauty and strength, and it's so uniquely you! I highly recommend this book to all women (even beginning in their 30's) to read, reflect on, and enjoy. 

Stay tuned for the book launch date next month!

A Fun-Filled Traveling Adventure with Winston! 📚🐾🐶🌎✈️

 Weekend book review! 📚🐾🐶🌎✈️

"Winston the Traveling Dog" by Cynthia Anne Finefrock

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a delightful, fun-filled and action-packed traveling adventure starring my favorite furry friend, Winston! Follow along Winston's first trip around the globe, where he learns all about different countries, cultures, and what makes them special. Winston uses his courage and belief in himself to venture out on the big plane by himself to discover what's beyond his backyard. 

I really enjoyed learning all of the interesting facts about other countries, and I'm sure children will, too. It's always a special treat when learning becomes fun (and Winston discovers plenty of tasty treats along the way!)! The photos and illustrations are adorable and capture Winston's bright and animated personality. I love the fashionable outfits he wears to celebrate the unique and vibrant cultures and I know that kids will, too! The large and kid-friendly font fits this story perfectly, as well.

Winston soon learns that anything is "pawsible" if you put your mind to it (and it's twice as fun when you make new friends along the way!). What do you think about his special adventure? What's your favorite place to travel to? Let me know in the comments below!

Happy travels! 🐾
