  Join us for this tour from Jan 10 to Jan 30, 2023! Book Details: Book Title: BLOOMING ROSE BLASTS OFF! by Lauren Piland Category: Children's Fiction (Ages 3-7), 38 pages Genre: Children's Picture Book Publisher: Mascot Books Release date: Jan 10, 2023 Format available for review: print-hardback (USA), PDF Tour dates: Jan 10 to Jan 30, 2023 Content Rating: G for all kids. Book Description: Rose loves to write, draw, and play―but what happens when she has to face a project she’s never done before?! With encouragement from her best friend, Brady, and some brainstorming with Dad, does Rose’s rocket launcher project turn out to be less than stellar or out of this world?!  Meet the Author: As a former second grade and elementary art teacher, Lauren Piland is a Louisiana native turned Texas homesteader who knows the importance of engaging read-alouds both in class and at home. After taking a step back from the classroom to raise her second child, she realized the gap some campuses face between the undersupported emotional struggles of students and the overwhelming responsibilities of teachers. “When we can use tools such as books and relatable characters to open up those more meaningful conversations, both at home and in the classroom, it aids in that process of peeling back layers of getting to know each other better and building trust,” says Piland. “Children need to feel seen, feel heard, and feel protected. And we do that by tapping into our emotions.” Piland also wanted to further support teachers by including ready-to-use, curriculum-based exercises to go along with each book that focus on learning objectives such as reading comprehension strategies, vocabulary building and word mechanics exercises, writing prompts, whole group projects and STEM exercises with differentiated versions for students in Pre-K all the way to fourth grade. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ instagram ~ pinterest Tour Schedule: Jan 10 – Cover Lover Book Review – book review / guest post / giveaway Jan 10 - Sandra's Book Club – book review / giveaway Jan 11 – Bound 4 Escape – book review / giveaway Jan 11 - Gina Rae Mitchell – book review / guest post / giveaway Jan 12 – Paws.Read.Repeat – book review / giveaway Jan 13 – Liese's Blog – book spotlight / author interview Jan 13 - Locks, Hooks and Books – book review / giveaway Jan 17 – Rockin' Book Reviews – book review / guest post / giveaway Jan 17 - My Reading Getaway – book review / author interview / giveaway Jan 18 – Books With A Chance – book review / author interview / giveaway Jan 19 – fundinmental – book spotlight / giveaway Jan 19 - The Phantom Paragrapher – book review / giveaway Jan 20 – Writer with Wanderlust – book review / guest post / giveaway Jan 23 – Lady Hawkeye – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway Jan 24 – Splashes of Joy – book review / giveaway Jan 25 – Pick a Good Book – book review / author interview / giveaway Jan 25 - @RebeccaReviewedIt – book review / giveaway Jan 26 – Stephanie Jane – book spotlight / author interview / giveaway Jan 27 – Pause for Tales – book review / giveaway Jan 30 – Lisa's Reading – book review / giveaway Jan 30 - Regally Written – book review Enter the Giveaway:
