Shimmer and Shine - Friendship Divine

Sorry I am not posting much these days, with the devastation of the tornadoes that hit my hometown on January 2nd and then again on the 22nd, my mind has been elsewhere. One thing?  I have been thinking about all the kids that have lost their homes and everything they owned and knew.  I have been thinking that I will take part of our DVD collection down to the shelters so that they might be able to set up a few viewing area's so that the kids can take their mind off of things and let the parents have time to try and process it all.
Shimmer and Shine: Friendship Divine will be available for purchase on February 7th and I think this newly released DVD might be able to put a smile on the kids faces, at least for a bit!
