@deejcariel ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀SNOW DAY ❄️ • • Growing up I was NOT the kid who liked to play in the snow. In fact, you couldn’t pay me to walk outside on a snowy day. Baby Brandon is just like his mommy — hence why our photo opps or snowy play moments are always cut short because baby boy wants to come out of the jacket and get back into the warm 😂👏🏾 Lucky for him because our reading line up had all of our favorites! Each day of #BlackHistoryMonth we are reading books by brown authors and illustrators! I’ve shared a few and even a dope surprise at the end 👀 Also, check out the link in my bio to grab some of our favorite books for your little ones this month. We have an entire list put together with all of our favorites!!! Leave us some love if you’re just as excited for what’s “coming soon”! Bailey Lauren helped with every little detail and we are so excited to share it with you and your little ones. Written AND illustrated by baby girl and myself 💗
