Bowllan’s Blog: Award Winning Author Kakie Fitzsimmons Gets School Library Journal Mention
By Kakie Fitzsimmons, VP and founding partner of Farmer’s Hat Productions, Co-author Bur Bur and Friends children’s book series which educates kids about sports, outdoor exploration and active play.
The other day, I received an email from Amy Bowllan at the School Library Journal. The School Library Journal is the worlds largest reviewer of books, multimedia, and technology for children and teenagers. On this website, Amy has this amazing blog which I subscribe to. Last November, she interviewed my dear friend, co-author and business partner JoAnne Pastel and I about our children’s book series, Bur Bur and Friends. Since that time, Amy and I have stayed in touch on occaision. In the note she sent me, Amy asked me for my thoughts around unspoiling our kids. I sent a note back to her and thought nothing of it.
So early this week, the traffic on our three websites: Farmer’s Hat Productions, Bur Bur and Friends and Bur Bur and Friend Blog was really high and I couldnt figure out where it all was coming from. Then, I found this post Dated March 31st called:
Kakie Fitzsimmons - Growing Kids Through Diverse Learning Experiences
Seeing her post, linking to my post, reminded me of why I enjoy blogging about the things we teach our kids and they teach us. As an author, blogger and writer, when I center my craft around what is important to me, things seem to fall into place. That is true for all of us. When we follow our passion, doors open, plans are revealed, what was unclear comes into focus. We understand our purpose.
Please don’t keep us a secret. We would be humbled and honored if you would consider passing this along to 2 or 3 others you know We love it when people to help spread the word about the good work we are doing and let us know what you think about it.

The beauty of Bur Bur and Friends is that FRIENDS are always being made. Such is the case of Kakie and I.
