MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
I love, love, love this sweet little book! Popper woodpecker realizes he is all grown up and it time he ventures out and finds a new home. After his parents wish him well, Popper takes off on his journey to find just the right home. His journey takes him to a chicken house, a pond, to a farmers house, and on to more places. Then with the help from a friend, Popper realize he already has a perfect place to make his new home.
IL Ritchie does an amazing job writing this children’s book. I love the story, introducing children to several wild and tame animals alike. I love the sweet story of Popper the owl, as he tries to find a place for his home, and your child will love Popper too. Yulia Potts brings the story to life with fabulous illustrations on each page the fit so well with the story. This book is beautiful inside and out with vivid colors and adorable animals. The background scenes are adorable. This entire book is adorable and would make a good addition to your child’s library. As well as any daycare or elementary school library. And can I say Christmas gift? Poppy Finds a New Home will make the perfect gift for the child in your family.

Hi folks, I encourage you to read this interesting Guest Post from author IL Ritchie. I always enjoy learning more about authors and this is a great way to do so.
One thing I learned from studying abroad:
I had always planned to go back to school, after getting a couple years of work experience under my belt. When I was applying for schools, I decided to submit an application for a school in Australia. My dad was raised in New Zealand, so growing up we had done a couple family trips to New Zealand and Australia. My intention was to stay in Australia for a few years after my grad school program, in order to get some international work experience.
Not long after arriving in Australia, I began to feel very homesick. I felt very disconnected from my family and friends. After a few weeks, I made some great friends with fellow classmates. I am still very close with some of my former classmates.
However, I decided to return to California once my program was completed. That experience made me realize how important our social networks are to our well-being. Being close to our family and friends can help us get through almost anything. I hope children can understand the importance of maintaining a strong social network, as they see Popper get helpful advice from his friends as he looks for his new home!!
