Hello June!

The End, World Ocean Day, Video Review, and Summer Reading

View this in your browser. Greetings from Kathy Cherry Books! Happy June, reader! 🎓 The End "The End." Those two words contain a lot. They signify the finish of a story. They can bring relief, sadness, happiness, and quite a few other emotions depending on the book. If it's a really good book, you don't want it to end. Like a novel or story, I have felt a number of "the ends" this past month with my oldest graduating high school and my youngest ending 8th grade. When a book ends, there's a new book to start and explore. I am looking forward to these new chapters of their lives. Congratulations to all the 2026 graduates out there! 🎓 🌊 World Ocean Day Happy World Ocean Day on June 8th! World Ocean Day unites and rallies for a healthy ocean and stable climate. Emma loves this day to celebrate and protect her special home! Did you know that sea turtles can travel thousands of miles during their lifetimes, making them some of nature's greatest adventurers?! Click here for a number of resources about the ocean for children. 🌟 Video Review Speaking of Emma, click here for a new awesome review video of Turtle Tube by bookitwithdad on Turtle Tube's Amazon book page! It's my first video review posted on Amazon for this book and it's a great one! Below please find a couple of photos from them as well. I am happy that they enjoyed this first adventure into Erutuf National Park and really appreciate their sweet words! 📖 Summer Reading Children's books make fun and entertaining goodies for your upcoming summer travels.
