It is no secret that I am raising my children to love books. They don’t read them on tablets, they don’t just read what the school requires but at any given time, you can find any of my children in the children’s library reading. It is one of the things I really wanted to give me children… the love of the written word. Especially these days, with electronics being the number one requested gift of any child, I want them to know the peace and joy and best friends that can only be found in the pages of a book. So when I was approached to introduce Star Darlings from Disney Press, I was overjoyed to show my children even more adventures in these fun books!

My wishes for the new year are that my children continue to love and learn from the pages of books. As they age I foresee electronics taking over, especially as their friends start talking about how cool the latest games are. But I feel like if I instill that one love it may never go away for them. So my wish is that I can continue to find high quality books and creative stories that are like no other to hold their interest.

Created for girls ages 8 – 12, though my 6 year old loves when her sisters read them to her, Disney “Star Darlings” is a stellar original property for tweens that answers the question of where wishes come from, and features a diverse array of star-charmed girls who encourage and help others to fulfill their heartfelt wishes.

Just like real girls, each Star Darling has her own wish that she pursues with full force and determination—and the help of her friends. These shared journeys and experiences provide exceptionally positive examples to inspire tweens to follow their dreams, and are experienced through books, dolls, music and apparel, along with a mobile app and animated shorts. Disney “Star Darlings” offers an innovative and unparalleled lifestyle experience that encourages tweens to harness the power of their individuality, highlights the power of making positive choices, and shows that they can make anything possible.

This series by Ahmet Zappa and Shana Muldoon Zappa has quickly become a favorite around here, even with out pictures on every other page! I love the message, the creativity and the fact that my girls are already telling their friends how awesome this series is! Pick up Star Darlings at your local retailer now!
