Mandy Brouse of WordsWorth Books in Waterloo encourages people to skip the prose during National Poetry Month and try something different.

Mandy Brouse of Wordsworth Books in Waterloo offers several suggestions of new holiday books to get your children into the spirit of reading.

There is excitement as the school year starts up again, but some children may be feeling stress or anxiety because of a new classroom, bullying or perhaps younger children are sad to see an older sibling head off to kindergarten. Books can help ease some of those worries, writes Mandy Brouse.
