Star Wars Day is coming!!

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!
