“One of my favorite things about watching little ones grow is seeing how even the most ordinary moments can turn into something extraordinary,” Ramlakhan-Velit says. “That’s the feeling I wanted to capture in Chickie Chickie in the Garden. My hope is that the story encourages families to slow down, embrace those little moments, and carry that sense of wonder beyond the pages and into everyday life.”
She will be hosting a live reading of Chickie Chickie in the Garden at Play First in Hamilton, New Jersey, Nov. 1, where families can purchase their own copies of the picture book. Families can register for the event at playfirstnj.com.
Parents and caregivers can find the book now on Amazon and at Daff & Daisy Preloved Kidswear Boutique in Columbus, New Jersey.
