Perfect Picture Book Friday: SEVEN GOLDEN RINGS Plus Giveaway

Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends! One of my fondest memories is of going to Coney Island – the famous beach in Brooklyn, New York. I’d build sandcastles as the water lapped at my creation, eat hot dogs from Nathan’s, slathered with mustard, and skip along the boardwalk, hoping my parents would buy me a cone filled with soft-serve ice cream – vanilla, of course!

If you were able to grab one, you got a free ride! I’d stretch out my arm, lean as far as I could, and…usually miss.
