November is Full of Unique Celebrations! by Elaine A. Powers, Author

November is an exciting month for me. It includes National Author’s Day, to celebrate your favorite authors and perhaps try reading the work of a new one. Humility should prevent me from doing so, but may I suggest the science-based books by Elaine A. Powers? LOL.

Storytelling is a part of all human cultures. Today, authors provide us with entertainment, as well as information. November is also National Family Literacy Month. Celebrate by sharing books with your family members. Read to each other. Read with each other. Lyric Power Publishing offers workbooks filled with comprehensive, educational and fun activity sheets that could be colored together and enjoyed by the entire family.

Reading can build up an appetite, so while you’re making yourself a meal, cook something for your pets, because National Cook for Your Pets Day is also in November. Most of my pets’ meals are freshly prepared raw fruits and vegetables. However, once in a while, I do cook butternut squash for my iguanas and tortoises. It is nice and soft and they enjoy it immensely, shoving their faces into the squishy, tasty pulp.

Once they have eaten their fill, they scrape off the residue; after all, they don’t want to be seen with squash on their face!
