Disney Encanto: The Junior Novelization
I’ve fallen in love with the Family Madrigal! My youngest grandson & I watched it repeatedly over the Holidays.
Disney’s Encanto is the tale of an extraordinary family that lives hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. Everyone in the Madrigal family has a unique gift, ranging from superstrength to the power to heal. Everyone except Mirabel.
But when the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides she might just be her exceptional family’s last hope. Encanto: The Junior Novelization retells the vibrant story!

I haven’t read a Danielle Steel book for years. I love that Valentine Quilt painting kit, I think my granddaughter would love it. Have a wonderful weekend, Gina.
My granddaughter loves crafty projects too. Thanks for stopping by, Carla.
Love the heart hats and maybe I’ll try it someday. Plus, used to enjoy reading Danielle Steele and glad to see she’s still writing.
Me too, Eve. I haven’t read her in ages. Maybe I’ll fit it in soon.
The Valentine’s Day heart craft looks really neat!
Thanks, Jessica. I usually knit hats during the Olympics so maybe I’ll give those a try.
