A bubblegum blower blows a blue bubble. But what happens when the bubble gets bigger, and bigger and bigger?

Packed with humor, and filled with lively alliterations, this book is sure to have them begging to hear it again and again!

Carrie’s love of children’s books– and the delight they bring – started long ago on a farm near Bradford, IL. The eldest of six children, Carrie grew up reading to her younger siblings.

When she became a mother to her own three sons, Carrie rediscovered the joy she had reading aloud with voices and actions. She also gained a deeper appreciation for how a well-crafted children’s book can induce joy, ignite the imagination, and create a beloved memory.

As a family doctor, Carrie discovered how daily reading is an essential component of child development and well-being. That’s why she supports Reach Out and Read, a nonprofit network of pediatric care providers who provide families, at routine check-ups, with the knowledge and tools they need to make reading a part of their daily routine.
