Product Features

Myla’s Sparkling Friends Mia the Unicorn offers so much fun for children and here are some of our favorites.

Color Mia

Mia lights up in the colors you choose for her. Press Mia’s Charm Button to choose a color. Then, touch her eyes, horn and wings to add the selected color to them. Nikki’s favorite colors are red and pink on Mia but you really can’t go wrong with any of the colors. 🙂

Mia’s Mood

Mia expresses her mood through color. Press her Light-Up Horn Button to see how she feels. Then, touch her eyes or wings for some additional color commentary.

Color Fun

Mia likes to pick a lucky color for you. Press her Wing Sensor and she’ll select a lucky color and tell you how that color makes her feel.

Tell Mia Your Wishes

Mia wants you to share your wishes and dreams with her. Cover and hold one of Mia’s Eye Sensors and she’ll ask you to tell her your wishes. Keep her Eye Sensor covered as you tell her. Uncover her Eye Sensor and she’ll tell you how much she loves your wishes.

We absolutely love this feature and Nikki loves making wishes. The best part for Nikki is having Mia tell her how much she loves Nikki’s wishes. These wishes have become special to Nikki as she won’t share them so they will come true. 😉

Musical Mia

Mia loves to sing. Tap Mia’s Mouth Button, and she will sing, hum or even surprise you with a kiss! Careful, sometimes she even burps!

Nikki loves the kisses and the burps make Nikki giggle. We love the burps as it happens to the best of us and Mia does it in the most adorable way!

Flying Fun

Who wouldn’t want to fly?! Mia sure does love to fly and you can help her by flapping her wings by pressing her Leg Lever. She’ll make magical sounds and cheer as she pretends to zoom through the sky.

Cuddle and Care

Every unicorn needs love. Pet Mia’s Eye Sensors or Wing Sensor to take care of her and get some fun surprises. 😉

The Boy and the Gorilla

“The Boy and the Gorilla is a beautiful children’s story that will tug at your heart strings. A story that gently depicts  the tender relationship between a young boy mourning his mother as he finds a path to healing. Articulated with words and illustrations perfectly. A powerful story in the talk of loss.” – Momma Braga

Synopsis

On the day of his mother’s funeral, a young boy conjures the very visitor he needs to see: a gorilla. Wise and gentle, the gorilla stays on to answer the heart-heavy questions the boy hesitates to ask his father: Where did his mother go? Will she come back home? Will we all die? Yet with the gorilla’s friendship, the boy slowly begins to discover moments of comfort in tending flowers, playing catch, and climbing trees. Most of all, the gorilla knows that it helps to simply talk about the loss – especially with those who share your grief and who may feel alone, too.

#MelAndNikkiReview

The Boy and the Gorilla truly tugged at my heart strings as I read the story to my daughter. It opened up more dialogues in the conversation of loss. We loved the questions the little boy asked as they are very common questions that children do ask. But sometimes as adults we may not know how to answer them as they can be tough ones for us. However, the Gorilla answers them beautifully and so simple.

In this story, the Gorilla helps this young boy find the path to healing through their shared grief and bond. This path leads the young boy to talk to his father where they both can bond and heal together. Just absolutely perfect! The author and illustrator did a superb job in articulating with words and illustrations on the toughest topic; loss.

For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 10+++ hearts out of 5! Loss has always been a hard topic for many and one that is comforting to see in children’s literature. I truly believe this story is one that will help children better understand and will start the toughest dialogue that we as parents may be uncomfortable with. Nikki truly enjoyed this story and the answers comforted her. We have had a loss in our lives this year and we used this book to help her better understand. It did just that and Nikki knows that those special people who are no longer with us, are always in our hearts.

“When will I feel better? When you know she’s still with you.”

Fauja Singh Keeps Going

“Fauja Singh Keeps Going is based on a true story that will inspire all to keep going no matter the obstacles that may stand in your way.” – Momma Braga

Synopsis

Every step forward is a victory.

Fauja Singh was born determined. He was also born with legs that wouldn’t allow him to play cricket with his friends or carry him to school miles from his village in Punjab. But that didn’t stop him. Working on his family’s farm, Fauja grew stronger to meet his own full potential.

He never stopped striving. At the age of 81, after a lifetime of making his body, mind, and heart stronger, Fauja decided to run his first marathon. He went on to break records all around the world and became the first person over 100 to complete the grueling long-distance race.

With exuberant text by Simran Jeet Singh and exhilarating illustrations by Baljinder Kaur, the true story of Fauja Singh reminds us that both where we start and how we finish that make our journeys unforgettable.

#MelAndNikkiReview

Fauja Singh Keeps Going is a children’s story that will inspire everyone. Based on a true story, the author and illustrator articulates beautifully all of Fauja’s struggles and how he accomplished what many thought would be impossible. When you think he has accomplished it all, he takes it even one step further. When he was 100, he ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon and was the oldest person in the world to run a marathon. What an amazing accomplishment and we love that this moment in history happened in our hometown! 🙂

We loved how he took any doubt or sadness in his life and turned it around to something positive. I think one of my favorite parts is when he would remember what his mom would tell him and that was the inspiration that he would use.

“You know yourself, Fauja, and you know what you’re capable of. Today is a chance to do your best.”

For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 10 stars out of 5! We love the positivity it brings to the Sikh community; the inspirational message about how determination and grit can help you overcome obstacles; and we love reading the story of Fauja. Make sure to check the back of the book where you get to learn more about Fauja and see all of his amazing records!

This is the true story of the first woman to ride a motorcycle around the world alone. Each place has something to teach her. Each place is beautiful. And despite many flat ties and falls, she learns to always get back up and keep riding.

#MelAndNikkiReview

Girl on a Motorcycle is the empowering story every little girl should read. Inspired by a true story, we are taken on a world journey exploring the different cultures and people. It is amazing to read how a woman travelled the world on her own with the view that the world was beautiful.

Such an empowering and impactful story for young readers. You learn so much of Anne-France Dautheville as the author includes a beautiful bio and photos of her. The author also includes a note of what inspired her to write this story.

“What I wish for all young citizens of the world, for every human being on this incredible planet, is the ability and freedom to travel, to wander, and to lust for elsewhere, to meet people, to experience through their own eyes and hearts that the world is beautiful and good.” – Amy Novesky

7 Ways to Foster Your Child’s Curiosity in Learning

Parents explore new ways to encourage their child’s curiosity. After all, a healthy curiosity drives children to want to learn more about specific subjects. Schools that improve student engagement offer better programs that keep children engaged and learning something new every day. Learning 7 ways to foster your child’s curiosity in learning helps children learn more and helps parents find the best schools for their kids.

  1. Find the Cure for Boredom

Engaging children effectively in the classroom prevents the children from becoming bored. This is the key to improving student engagement and helping the children achieve higher grades in each course. Planning activities that are interesting and entertaining keeps the children’s attention, and it helps the children absorb more information. Teachers that use these strategies encourage children to learn more about staying engaged in class. Parents can learn more about improving student engagement by learning how to get the best international school experience with the Perse School Singapore for their children.

  1. Let Them Do Classwork at Home

Classroom time is for discussions and not classwork. Allowing the students to complete assignments at home frees up class time for discussions. If the teachers allow the students to speak and discuss the subject children learn more.

  1. Promote Open Discussions in the Classroom

Teaching children through discussions keeps the classroom available for further learning. If the teacher enables the students to ask questions and talk about the subjects. The children learn how to formulate questions that help them and their classmates learn more about the topic.

  1. Give the Kids a Creative License

Allowing children to become creative gives them a chance to express themselves through art or music. Schools that provide arts and music courses encourage the child’s curiosity in learning by appealing to their imagination. A healthy imagination helps the children learn to express their feelings and thoughts. As an adult, these skills could help them be more assertive and get more out of their career. It shows the children how to get ahead in business and how to process their thoughts and feelings in a healthy way.

  1. Promote Critical Thinking

Critical thinking skills are vital for everyone. Promoting critical thinking and questioning the teachers about the topics, children learn how to apply these skills in life as they grow up. Instead of accepting the information they are given, they learn how to question thoughts and theories and arrive at their own conclusions. It is necessary to understand how to think critically when making decisions as an adult.

  1. Let Children Complete Projects Together

Completing projects together shows the children how to work together as a team. In life, they will work together in teams through employers when completing projects and building products. Understanding how to work together gives the children invaluable life skills.

  1. Present More Challenging Activities

Children who aren’t challenged will become bored and withdraw from their schoolwork. Children with higher-than-average IQs crave challenging work. Teachers must present work and projects that challenge the mind and help the children advance. The challenges help children develop strong problem-solving skills they will need for work and in life.

Parents review educational programs to determine what their children will get from the programs. Programs that are designed to promote a healthy curiosity for learning deliver curriculums that prepare children for college and life. Reviewing how these programs work shows parents if the schools are the best choice for their children.

Gustavo The Shy Ghost

“Gustavo The Shy Ghost is an adorable children’s book to get you into the Halloween spirit. It also combines beautiful illustrations with a great story on overcoming shyness.” – Momma Braga

Synopsis

Gustavo is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. And he loves almost nothing more than playing beautiful music on his violin. But Gustavo is shy, and some things are harder for him to do, like getting in a line to buy eye scream or making friends with other monsters. Whenever he tries getting close to them, he realizes they just can’t see him. Now that the Day of the Dead is fast approaching, what can he do to make them notice him and to share with them something he loves?

#MelAndNikkiReview

Gustavo The Shy Ghost is a delightful story and a great treat for all the little ghouls and goblins. This has quickly become a family favorite and we have been reading it every chance we get. We have even taken this book to Nikki’s cousin’s house who loves the book as much as we do.

The illustrations are beautiful and the storyline of overcoming shyness is heartfelt. We loved how well it was written and so easy for a child to understand. Nikki and her cousin Adriana loved trying to find Gustavo in each page. They both got really excited to see where they would find him next. By the end of the book, Adriana who is only two kept asking if she can find Gustavo again. So it is safe to say that Gustavo quickly became a great hit!

For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give Gustavo The Shy Ghost 10 phantoms out of 5! If you are looking for a heartfelt story about overcoming shyness, being brave and about friendship then this is the story for you. It is definitely a must read in our books!

Nikki showed all the amazing features to her younger cousin to which had Adriana excited to play.

The feature that had Adriana the best was the Babble feature as she loved having Bailey copy all her words. Nikki’s favourite feature is the music mode as she loved singing along. My favourite feature is the love that brought into the lives of the little ones. Seeing both children interact and engage with Bailey was amazing and truly warmed my heart.

Fairy Science Solid, Liquid, Gassy

“Fairy Science Solid, Liquid, Gassy is an absolute must read as it inspires the inner scientists within us all. For the world has always something new to discover.” – Momma Braga

Synopsis

Esther likes facts and evidence. But fairies use magic wands and mix magic potions. That can make the land of Pixieville a frustrating place for a budding scientist.

When an entire pond goes missing, the other fairies are convinced it disappeared by magic. But Esther’s sure that there’s a scientific explanation…one that doesn’t involve a thirsty ogre.

Fairy and science fans alike will love Esther’s spellbinding introduction to the water cycle!

#MelAndNikkiReview

Fairy Science Solid, Liquid, Gassy is the must read children’s book as it offers the triple threat: interesting storyline, amazing illustrations and a dash of humor. Those are my top three reasons to love a book. Fairy Science knocks all three out of this world!

We love how the story opens up the world of science to kids and we love how Esther asks important questions even though people don’t believe her. They are fairies after all who do love to dabble in magic. 😉 We also loved learning about the transformation of solid to liquid to gassy. Nikki loved giggling to Fig (Esther’s friend) who made the book truly funny for little ones with his funny sayings. “My favourite part is when he said I think mine peed. I laughed so much!” – Nikki, Age 6

We both agreed that our favourite part was the bonus included in the book which is a step by step experiment that you can try at home with your kids to show condensation. Nikki loved doing it and she has been conducting her own experiments since and it has been amazing to watch her love for science grow. Children’s books like these open the doors for little ones and it allows them to grow.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Fairy Science Solid, Liquid, Gassy got a glowing review with 10 stars out of 5! We recommend this book for your reading line-up and it is great for children who are between the ages of three and seven. What type of science experiments have you and your kids been up to lately? Let us know in the comment section below. 😉
