In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to get swept up in responsibilities, routines, and the pressure to hold everything together. Without even realizing it, the lightness fades—and our days start to feel more like checklists than moments to cherish. ️

And whether we speak it or not, our children feel that shift too.

But when we, as parents and caregivers, intentionally welcome lightness, laughter, and levity back into our days, we do more than create memories—we build lives filled with happiness and purpose, inspiring our children to carry that same spirit forward in their lives.

And so, as we celebrate the start of the autumn season, one accomplished artist is reminding families everywhere that fun isn’t a distraction from life—it’s what makes it truly meaningful.

Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter & Children’s Author, Mary Ann Redmond, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #251 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share her inspiring story, the release of her new children’s book, Boopable! (published by AuthorHouse), the healing and connective power of music, animals, and creativity in navigating life’s challenges, the importance of modeling joy, balance, and responsibility for our children, and ways kids and grown-ups alike can invite more play, presence, and connection into their everyday lives—plus much more.

We invite you, our friends and neighbors, to support Mary Ann by grabbing your copies of Boopable! and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones: https://bit.ly/47VilrN.
