Every Star Wars fan’s favourite holiday is coming up on May 4th! Why May 4th? Well, try saying “May the 4th be with you” outloud and I bet you’ll quickly hear the reference to the popular line in the Star Wars franchise, May the ‘force’ be with you! It’s a fun play on words that quickly gained momentum, especially online, and today it’s now known around the world as Star Wars Day!
With a house of three boys, you can bet we have a few Stars Fans in the house, but the biggest one is Daddy who grew up with the movies!
We’ll be celebrating the day with a movie and of course some of our favourite DK Canada Star Wars books!

We recently received two new ones that the boys are currently obsessed with, I was lucky to take a quick picture for you before the boys ran off with them to sneak out the minifigures and pour through the pages!
