Sunshine, fresh air, and the promise of summer adventures invite us to dream bigger and cherish time with those we hold dear. 
For children, these simple joys spark imagination, resilience, and the warmth found in shared experiences. Whether chasing dreams or exploring the outdoors, treasured memories made with family and nature help shape who they become. 
And so, two inspiring storytellers are teaching little ones to remember that summer isn’t just a season—it’s a chance to break free from limitations, ignite the spirit of adventure, and nurture the courage and connection children need to flourish in the world beyond. 
We cordially invite you and your little ones to join David Newell (who played the beloved Mr. McFeely on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood), along with our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest, for Episode #50 of PR From The Heart’s Neighborly Reviews Bookcast, as they share rdschildrensbooks’ Rebecca’s Dream That Wasn’t and Marykerinsauthor’s The Cottage. 
Join us in supporting Ruth and Mary by grabbing your copies of Rebecca’s Dream That Wasn’t and The Cottage—and enjoy these empowering stories with your little ones:
