Posted on April 23, 2014 by Claudine Gandolfi

Answer our trivia question to win our featured item of the day. Contest is open to residents of USA/CAN. One correct reply from our various social media outlets will be randomly chosen as our winner. Past winners are excluded from the contest for 30 days after winning. Good luck!

This week our questions are based on well known children's books.

In Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series of books, in what US state are they first set in?

Our giveaway item today is CELIA.

Celia is the town listener. She listens to people's little problems, big problems, and all the in-between problems. Once they have shared their troubles with her and let them go — giving her their seeds of sorrow — they feel lighter and happier. Celia has the wonderful ability to take these seeds and turn them into magical balloons, twinkling stars, and blooming flowers — literally painting the world with color. When a young boy named Julian feels sad, he waits in line to see Celia. But before he gets to the front of the line, he realizes that he has lost his seed of sorrow and will be unable to give it to Celia. Oh no! Now how will he find a way to be happy again?
