What better way to spend your Valentine’s Day than with acclaimed author, Lisa McCourt, as she presents her book “I Love You Stinky Face”? The Aventura Mall, in conjunction with the MD Family Learning Partnership, has coordinated this very special children’s book reading on February 14 at 10:00 a.m.
The story of “I Love You Stinky Face” brings back memories of when my boys were little. Every night, without fail, I would read them a book or two before bedtime. They would ask question after question – and I would LOVE every moment of it.
I can’t tell you how badly I wish I could turn back time, sitting with them in their rooms, cuddling, and reading.
Children will get a super special autographed copy of “I Love You Stinky Face” and create a beautiful photo frame to bring home and showcase their family memories!
You can also purchase the three latest Stinky Face books for a small donation to charity. They would make great birthday gifts for those gazillion classmates’ birthday parties you’ll be invited to over the next few months!
Yummy treats will be provided by Shake Shack and Peppermint Park.
It is recommended that you RSVP in advance! Meet Lisa on the Upper Level of the New Wing, by Zara a little bit before 10 a.m. The reading will take place from 10 – 11 a.m.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Dana says
They are the best!!
Joan says
I wish I could do this, my boy does not care for any reading before bed. He just says mummy I need to sleep and that’s it. But he does enjoy reading just not at bedtime.
Tara Pittman says
I too miss the days of when mine were little. Bedtime reading was the best time.
Amber Myers says
This sounds like a fun time. My kids would have loved to do something like this when they were tiny.
Cristina Petrini says
I love your way of being a mother, I would like the day that I will be able to make your own wise and just choices!
Joanna says
This sounds like a great event for children. I am sure so many kids enjoy bedtime stories and would love to attend a readout from a children’s author.
Alexandra Cook says
Story times are so much fun. I used to attend the library when I was little for story time and it’s a time I will cherish for a while.
Dana says
Yes! I used to really enjoy my library’s story time too! Such memories!
Gavin says
My daughter is ALL about reading stories. I probably read at least 20 a day with her
Dana says
You do? I think that is awesome and totally warms my heart!
Heather says
I used to work just down the street from Aventura Mall! I miss that place!

I love the title of the book, sound so funny and cute at the same time. “I Love You Stinky Face” would be a great book I guess for Valentine day with children.
Dana says
All of Lisa McCourt’s books are super cute – you should check them out!
Chelle Dizon says
Oh how time flies so fast. I also remembered how I read story books to my son. I haven’t checked that book yet.
Katie McNally says
That book looks adorable! I’ll have to check it out. Story times are one of my favorite things about having little ones!
Dana says
Same here, Katie! I loved reading to them. Now the boys are older so I try to incorporate different activities that we can do together at the end of the evening – like watching their favorite show or playing board games. 🙂
Paula Stewart says
Bedtime was always my favorite time when the kids were growing up. Every night I’d have them in my lap as we read a story. I’m sure they would have loved these books and getting to have the author read it to them would have been amazing. No one can present it with the same emotion and feeling like the person who put their blood, sweat, and tears into writing it.
Dana says
So true, Paula!
Devyani Ray says
