Sprinkling Love

By: Mayra Alonso DiRico

Sibling rivalry for their parents' love is an instinctual part of growing up. Teaching our children early on that love is not a competition is key in setting a loving foundation for the rest of their lives.

In Sprinkling Love, Mama and Papa Bear realize the daily fighting between their children for their love must stop. They solicit the help of Wise Owl, the Wizard. Both Sister and Brother Bear are given a challenge by the Wise Owl: chests full of love powder with a strict mandate of what to do with it. What seems to be just a simple game of fun turns out to be a valuable lesson on the power of love.

Young readers are encouraged to sprinkle their love by detailing them after they finish the book.
