11/26/2019
 Welcome to the Blog Tour & Giveaway for The Cracking of Monday Egg by B.T. Higgins, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours! About the Book Title: The Cracking of Monday Egg Author: B.T. Higgins Genre: Middle Grade Fiction Release Date: November 21, 2019 An Egg World Allegory The Maker created Monday Egg for a very important reason. Monday just doesn’t understand it yet. Being an egg with arms and legs has its advantages. Monday can run like the wind and climb trees easily, but he is an egg. What happens when he cracks? The Cracking of Monday Egg is the story of a cranky crow, a sick little girl, a kind squirrel, and Monday’s struggle to deal with his own crackability. About the Author B.T. Higgins lives in the wild urban jungles of Alaska with his wife and four children. As you might expect, he is an avid fan of long naps and noise-canceling headphones. He has been a garbageman, a propane technician, a teacher, a tutor, a musician and an exotic-bird-cage scrubber, but writing stories is, by far, his favorite job. CONNECT WITH B.T.: ReviewThe Cracking of Monday Egg is a cute and fun story about an Egg Man who must learn how to deal with the “cracking” of his fragile shell and how after it is healed it is stronger. It is also about discovering friendship, evil, kindness, and sacrifice. This book on the surface is a delightful children’s story, but the author does a fantastic job of also digging deeper and connecting the story to love and healing of the creator. There are simple lessons taught within the story that children and adults alike will be able to relate to their own lives. This is a fabulous book that is both fun and inspiring!

About the Book You know Latter-day Saints don’t have horns, but do you know how that rumor got started? Do you know which country’s population has the highest percentage of Latter-day Saints? And did you know that President Monson didn’t like pizza? No matter how well you know your religion, you’re bound to find some surprising trivia about Latter-day Saints in this fun collection of fascinating facts! About the Author Rebekah Pitts has lived on three continents but in only two countries. She finds her greatest joy from raising her 6 children on motherly love, large words, and random tidbits of information. Rebekah grew up studying the encyclopedia, dictionary, and, her personal favorite, the Book of Mormon pronunciation guide. Currently residing in Utah, she can drive to any one of 10 different temples in 1 hour or less. She is an award winning lyricist and the author of 250 Fascinating Facts about LDS Temples and 250 Fascinating Facts about Latter-day Saints (publication March, 2019). ReviewThis is such a great book with so many fun and interesting facts about a variety of people and subjects from the Latter-day Saints. Some of these facts are more well-known and others not so much. But all these facts are fascinating and interesting. Although more of a resource for children or teens, this book is a great resource for those that don’t already know a lot about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But here's something you may not know. All pirates love pajamas, yo ho! Told in charming rhyming verse, follow the course of a typical pirate day, from hoisting the sails, to snoring the night away. Who knows? Maybe you'll find pirates are just like you, because they like to be cozy too. About the Author Sarah Hadsell was born and raised in Lancaster, CA. Her past adventures include being part of the film crew of an Oscar-nominated documentary, working for the senior editor of a nationally acclaimed magazine, and spending time working in the diamond industry. But of all her professional accomplishments, her full-time career as an elementary teacher has brought her the most joy. Despite the fact that she's been writing stories since 1993, her profession as an author didn't officially begin until 2013. At that time, she partnered with a company that specialized in audio bedtime stories. During that partnership, she wrote 30 children's stories--many of which were highly publicized by the producer. Her audio stories were featured alongside other bedtime classics such as "Goodnight Moon," "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?" and "Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site." Sarah's debut in the world of traditional publication came in 2019 with her book "Pirates Love Pajamas." She thanks you for being a part of this new adventure!

These are pirates love anything and everything bedtime related, especially pajamas. This charming read has wonderfully fun and brightly colored pictures to enhance the experience as well.
