Kim Bushman Aguilar
I Love You Across The World by Kim Bushman Aguilar |
Kim's first book to be published was a family history book about her ancestors coming to America, "The Bushmans Come to America," and its sequel of the family's journey from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to Nauvoo, Illinois, "The Bushmans in Nauvoo." Both are very well written, with beautiful illustrations, making it fun to share family history with children.
Kim has written several children's books, "I Love You Across The World," "Use Your Words," and "Tell Everyone-Break the Silence of Child Abuse." All three of her books have been awarded the Readers Favorite 5-Star Review Award.
We have read the first two on our YouTube channel (you can click the hyperlink to watch), "Tell Everyone" needs to be read with your child/children. Child abuse happens much more often than we would like to admit as parents and grandparents. Discussing it with your kids may, hopefully, prevent it from happening. It is a sensitive subject, and many people are uncomfortable discussing it. Using "Tell Everyone" to open that conversation may make it easier.
A fun fact about Kim, she is a distant cousin to Grandpa. His mother's maiden name is Bushman, and the Bushman books are about Grandpa's Great, Great, Great, Grandpa.

Welcome to our blog!
Grandpa and I started our YouTube Channel on January 28, 2022. We wanted a way to read to our grandchildren, and It would be nice if other kids could watch our story times, too-so. We made it public rather than private. Our channel is for kids, so comments aren't allowed on regular videos.
On the weekends (Friday-Sunday), we post 3 books daily, including 1 book each day read in Spanish by Grandpa. Monday-Thursday, we publish one book a day. Starting tomorrow, March 27th, we will have Easter books almost every day until Easter. Here are a few of the books you can look forward to hearing:
The Itsy Bitsy Bunny by Jeffrey Burton |
Bunny's Easter Egg By Anne Mortimer |
Pete the Cat Big Easter Adventure by Kimberly & James Dean |
