Book excerpt: This book is an inspiring, feel-good collection of 52 stories from parents all over the world about their favorite ways to connect and engage with their kids. For the parent looking for new ways to engage with their kids (or simply looking to be reminded of why those connections are so essential), this compilation will spark your curiosity, warm your heart, and strengthen your family bonds. How did this book come to be?In 2017, Cyndi filmed a video of her husband, Bronkar, beatboxing to their son, Elijah. (He was 18 months at the time.) Elijah danced and laughed with joy, using both sign language and spoken words to request, "More! More! More!" every time Bronkar paused. Cyndi shared the video to her Facebook page, and within a few days, it was re-shared through several major news outlets, becoming an "accidental" viral video with over 250 million views. Cyndi was deeply inspired by how strongly parents across the globe resonated with the simple joy of a parent and child engaging with each other through music and laughter. She and Bronkar began to invite stories from other parents. Each story was a seed planted, and together they sprouted into this glorious collection.
