National Bookstore Day – November 7th!
Because I believe in the World of Ink so much and do all I can to help children find a love a reading, I decided to kick off this holiday season today on National Bookstore Day by taking 15% off an autographed copy of my picture book, Babysitting SugarPaw.
What child wouldn’t love getting a new book this holiday season, especially one that not only teaches children it is okay to be left with a new babysitter, but also about honesty and friendship.
Also, a portion of every book sold on my author site goes toward benefitting literacy causes worldwide with First Book.

Delightful Picture Book Teaches Children important life lessons about honesty and friendship
July 1, 2009 – Author VS Grenier, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Stories for Children Magazine, celebrates her debut picture book about the importance of telling the truth and getting to know others.
Grenier’s “Babysitting SugarPaw” is about a little bear who hopes to get rid of his babysitter, Bonnie Whiskers, by getting her into trouble after making changes to his rules chart. As this loving story unfolds, SugarPaw learns about honesty and friendship. Babysitting SugarPaw, with its child-centered plot on getting to know others, is the perfect book for little ones scared of being left alone with a babysitter for the first time. This book will delight three-to-eight-year-old readers, especially those who like to create mischief.
When asked what inspired Grenier to write this particular story, she said, “I really enjoyed writing Babysitting SugarPaw based off some of the antics I pulled as a child with my babysitters. I feel children will love the mischief SugarPaw creates and parents will appreciate the subtle ways Bonnie Whiskers teaches how to be honest and a good friend.
“I love writing children’s books! I finish one and then get another idea from my own childhood or from my kids. It takes all my talent to create a book, run Stories for Children Magazine, and raise my children, too. But, I love it! It is such a surprising turn in the road to finally see one of my books in print. I hope to bring many more to children and share with them my love of the World of Ink.”
