PR From The Heart

The first signs of fall arrive quietly—a cooler morning, leaves turning, and children finding new school-year rhythms. In an all-new installment of PR From The Heart’s Empowering Reads for Kids, John Masiulionis rejoins Chelsea Lovell on News 4 Buffalo’s Daytime Buffalo to spotlight two special stories inviting families to slow down and tune in: Patricia Newman’s Beatrice and the Nightingale and Laura Hays Hoover’s It Won’t Be Long. Together, they highlight the magic of the natural world, the beauty of childhood milestones, and the moments families can cherish as autumn unfolds.

For many children, starting a new school year can quickly feel like a race to keep up academically and socially. In this month’s installment of PR From The Heart’s Empowering Reads for Kids, John Masiulionis joins Chelsea Lovell in-studio on News 4 Buffalo’s Daytime Buffalo to spotlight Dr. Eileen Sherman’s award-winning Friesian and Friends series—Zeus and Ziggy: First Friends, Zeus and Ziggy: From the Ground Up, and Zeus and Ziggy: First Ride. Together, they explore how these heartfelt books teach kids patience, self-trust, and perseverance at their own unique pace.

What if every child believed in their own goodness—and chose to see it in others, too? In this inspiring Daytime Buffalo feature, two powerful stories, A Magical Summer Day and Pearl, help young readers embrace kindness, resilience, and the courage to grow through life’s challenges.
