Violet Affleck, Harlow Madden, and Kingston Rossdale may have made new best friends! ee publishing and Nana Star participated in this year's Hollywood Babes in Toyland event where Nana Star & Friends books and plushies were beautifully packaged and hand-delivered to 25 of the hottest celebrity couples and their children! We're not typically "name-droppers"; however, in this case we're happy that Courtney Cox, Angela Bassett, Heidi Klum, Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani, Nicole Richie, Debra Messing, Jon Stewart, Maria Cross, Will Ferrell, Sarah Jessica Parker, Brooke Shields and several others were the recipients of our creation! Yep, looks like Nana Star and Friends are making the rounds!

Dipika Mirpuri, About.com: Toys
Everybody loves grandma's stories. This is the premise for the Nana Star series founded by Elizabeth Sills and Elena Patrice who wanted to share their grandmother's simple but poignant stories with the world. Old-fashioned values of friendship and love are desperately needed in today's fast moving world where everyone seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere. These simple stories with values such as kindness, generosity and compassion not only encourage, but also provide for wholesome entertainment. Through the simple, sweet stories, [Nana Star] is all set to charm your little ones.

The Fashionable Bambino
The Fashionable Bambino loves Nana Star! She carries her doll around everywhere and is in love with the story. She even likes to sit and look at the pictures all by herself. I think the stories are wholesome and hold great values. We highly recommend Nana Star!
