Nanastar and the Moonman would be great for my daughter


Congratulations! I will be emailing you!


Stories passed one from generation to generation are treasured by a few lucky souls.

In Virginia, two granddaughters decided to bring their Nana’s charming story character, Nana Star, to life with a picture book series lovingly illustrated, written and published by three generations.

Grandmother Elizabeth Owens, matriarch of the family, created the character Nana Star out of a great love for her little grandson, Vance, with a desire to give him sense of home wherever he was. Today, the whole family hopes to extend that same love and feelings of belonging to children everywhere, in dedication to Vance, who now dances among the stars.

Each Nana Star book includes an accompanying audio CD with the storybook and a sing-along song. To make the book a little more interactive, the authors have included a spelling mistake in each book and encourage readers to find it and send them a postcard with the correction. Children are then eligible to receive an 8x10 photo of the Nana Star costumed character and become an honorary member of the Nana Star Little Twinkles Club. The Club is expanded on its website, Nana Star, where language arts activities for emerging readers are offered.

You can use this coupon code, Amanda10, for 10% off through 7/31, on either plush item with its book, for 10% off the already-discounted combination price.


WIN:
Win your own Nana Star or Nana Star and the Moonman gift set. The winner will receive either the Nana Star book and doll OR the Nana Star and the Moonman doll and book.


ENTER:
To enter, please visit Nana Star and learn a little about each book, and in a comment tell me which book set you would like to win and who would you like to win it for? Also, you can leave an email address if you'd like to be contacted directly; I'll be submitting the winner's name and contact instructions to PRIZEY.Fetch, though, so if you'd prefer you can check there after the giveaway closes. I have no way of contacting anonymous users. If you choose not to leave an email address you MUST check back to see if you won!

This giveaway will end on July 19th.

    Hello, This is one of the most adorable doll/book gift sets that I have seen in awhile! I would enjoy starting from the beginning with the Nana Star Book and Doll. I like the story line where she is trying to get a lost star home and becomes afraid in the dark. The Moon lets her know she is never alone! These siblings came up with a delightful idea. I would give this to my niece/Godchild. I think the doll and book would make a wonderful keepsake gift. Thanks very much, Cindi

    I just love the Nana Star posable doll. I have loved dolls ever since I was a child (which was a very long time ago, before color television). I still have my own childhood collection and they love to make new friends. She is so cute and just perfect for any age. I hope I win her. My email address is kaaih7@aol.com. They make a lonely life much happier.

  160. Lucky said...

    I guess I would say Nana Star and the Moonman, only because I think he might help my toddler sleep - as he glows and plays lullabyes. And he's soft and made to be loved. The story sounds like something I'd want to pass on.

    If I happen to win and the other winner wants the same, the other doll and story sounds sweet too although other family members may say that a boy shouldn't have a girl doll. I think it would be okay. Maybe he'll lover her so much his first love will look just like her!
