Happy 2023, everyone!
I know it's only been a few days since the new year began, but I hope everyone is finding it fulfilling so far and will continue to find fulfillment throughout 2023. I also hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's Eve if you celebrated!
As we begin this exciting new year, I wanted to take time to recommend a few books that make for the PERFECT New Year's read as we all try to better ourselves and enact positive change within.

Green, a cheery crayon known as The Crayon Rapper, uses rhyming patterns in a "rap" music beat to describe the adventures of his multi-hued pals.
The book is a great teaching tool for children to learn colors! It can be set to a teacher's music inclination. It has beautiful illustrations and is an easy read.
It may be designed for children, but anyone can enjoy the stunning drawings from Cheryl Livingston, who wrote AND illustrated the book.
To buy "The Crayon (W)Rapper," you can look for it in our bookstore, Books & Gifts, or purchase it online here.
Now, let's move on to some amazing 2023 book recommendations that will leave you feeling enlightened and ready to enact some personal betterment!
"Power of Understanding: How Personality Influences Our Lives" by Rick Toomey

Emotional intelligence influences our ability to build strong relationships and achieve our goals. We can enhance emotional intelligence by learning to better understand ourselves and others.
This book demonstrates how powerful the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is in helping us better understand how personality influences our behavior and the results we produce.
This book is an incredibly interesting read, and JCP can't recommend it enough!
