Stories are important. They bring people together. They impart knowledge. They provide entertainment.
We tell tales about our day. We share narratives about our family. We chronicle moments in history by writing them down.
Stories allow us to connect with others in many different ways.
Not only do they invite us to create and collaborate, they nurture the delight of reading across generations.
The month of May is dedicated to creating and celebrating stories.
Some of our favorite stories right now include ones from the Sesame Street Friends series.
This collection, written by Andrea Posner-Sanchez, and published by Penguin Random House, the Sesame Street Friends board books series has 77 titles and is a part of the Random House Books for Young Readers library.
The stories certainly engage young readers with their bright pages and silly stanzas. Our twins love flipping through the sturdy pages many times a day.
