  Join Us for This Book Tour: June 5 to June 23, 2023 Book Details: Book Title: Best Buddies: What's in a Name? by Mother Melania Salem Category: Children's Fictions (ages 3-7), 32 pages Genre: Children's Picture Book Publisher: Holy Assumption Monastery Release date: December, 2022 Formats Available for Review: e-book (GIFTED KINDLE, MOBI FILE (FOR KINDLE), PDF) Tour dates: June 5 to June 23, 2023 Content Rating: G - This is a children's picture book. It does deal with homelessness, but in a way that is appropriate for young children. There is nothing graphic and no bad language. Book Description: What happens when a homeless dog befriends a homeless teen? Join them and find out!  Meet the Author: Mother Melania is the Abbess of Holy Assumption Monastery in Calistoga, CA. She grew up in a house that always had tons of children around, her poor parents had to read to her till they were hoarse, and from the moment she learned to read, she always had her nose in a book. So, it was only natural for her to grow up to write children's books. She has written three series of specifically Orthodox children's books - all in verse - which celebrate the high points of God's work of salvation in the Person of Christ. Her remaining series teach children the virtues in a fun, non-preachy way. Fearless and Friends chronicles the lives of Fearless the Fireduck (think 'fireman,' except that he's a DUCK) and Charity the Church Mouse and their friends, who get in and out of trouble based on the wisdom (or lack thereof) of their actions. The Adventures of Kenny and Scooter is a minimal-word series featuring six-year-old Kenny and his irrepressible Boston Terrier Scooter, who take turns getting into trouble and rescuing each other from their foolish antics. teachesWith all her books, Mother Melania is trying to celebrate virtue and God's saving work in our lives. connect with the author: website Tour Schedule: June 5 – A Mama's Corner of the World – book review / giveaway June 6 – Stephanie Jane – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway June 7 - Bound 4 Escape – book review / giveaway June 8 – Rockin' Book Reviews - book spotlight / guest post / giveaway June 9 – fundinmental – book spotlight / giveaway June 9 - Library Lady's Kid Lit – book review / author interview / giveaway June 12 – Cover Lover Book Review – book spotlight / giveaway June 12 - Splashes of Joy – book review / giveaway June 13 – Sandra's Book Club – book review / giveaway June 14 – June 15 – Liese's Blog - book spotlight June 16 – June 19 – Reading Authors Network – book review / giveaway June 20 – June 21 – Locks, Hooks and Books – book review / giveaway June 22 – Character Madness and Musings – book spotlight / author interview giveaway June 23 – mamof9 – book review Enter the Giveaway:

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 ~ youtube

Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
