After the holiday season, people are ready to make changes, to face the world again, to look the New Year in the eye and to see new opportunities and hope. People make New Year resolutions, gardeners start dreaming about putting in new seeds and seeing nature awaken again. It can be a cold month but spring is not too far away.
January looks forward to the new year and back to the old year. He sees past and future – M.L. Stedman
I love beginnings. If I were in charge of calendars, every day would be January 1 – Jerry Spinelli.
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. – Henry Ward Beecher
New Year’s Day. A fresh start. A new chapter waiting to be written. – Sarah Ban Breathnach
Below is a video about a girl called January. It is from a book written by April Martin called, ‘Meet January’. The story is read by Erin. R. Millar.
‘January is a lovable character we can all relate to: trying to get out of bed on the first day back to school after winter break. January loves to be cozy (cosy) and warm and play with her new toys. Finally, the day comes when winter break is almost over. She does not like the cold, but she wants to wish her friends a Happy New Year! Will she make it to school? January finds herself feeling blue, but with the help of friends, that feeling fades away. ‘https://www.amazon.com/Meet-January-Book-Calendar-Kids-ebook/dp/B09M4QTLTH?

Eileen Moynihan was born in Essex England, and grew up on the Isle of Wight from the age of three. At the age of 22 she moved permanently to Ireland, where she lived in West Cork, and more recently on the border of Counties Roscommon and Longford. For most of that time she was teaching children with Special Needs, and raising her three children with her husband. After taking early retirement, Eileen loves to write books for children.
After discovering Amazon's Createspace and Kindle Direct Publishing, she decided to start publishing her own books. Then she created her own brand for her books, and so Childhood Books was born.
