This particular Martin Custom Shop D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar model stands out with a solid Sitka Spruce top paired with epic Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides, creating a visual and sonic tapestry that reflects the quality that Martin Custom Shop guitars have become synonymous with.This Custom Shop D Dreadnought gives a nod to the rich heritage of its base model, the Martin Dreadnought. Originating in the early 20th century, the dreadnought shape was an innovation, designed to produce a bolder, more resonant sound. Fast forward to the present, and the Custom Shop takes that historic design, infusing it with modern sophistication.
The Sitka Spruce top provides a solid foundation, ensuring a balanced tone that is articulate and responsive. Paired with the Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides, the body of this guitar resonates with a unique blend of warmth and clarity. Combined with forward-shifted, Sitka spruce X bracing, the structural integrity is sound, while the top is allowed to vibrate freely, translating into a sound that's distinctively Martin, but also one of a kind.
Dressed to impress, the Custom Shop D Dreadnought sports a highly flamed Koa binding that serves as a frame, accentuating the guitar's contours with a touch of elegance. The rosette, styled in the iconic black maple fiber of Style 45, adds a subtle yet captivating detail. The neck, crafted from genuine mahogany, offers a comfortable Modified Low Oval profile with a High-Performance taper for comfort. This thoughtful design ensures easy playability and a Black Ebony fingerboard, adorned with a new Offset 4Pt Snowflake inlay design, provides a smooth surface for fretting.
Tuning is a breeze with Grover Nickel StaTite 18:1 Vintage Button machines, allowing tuning precision and showing off vintage-inspired charm. The bone nut, flat and unassuming, adds to the guitar's resonance while the bridge, a modern belly style crafted from black ebony, complements the overall aesthetic while enhancing sustain.
The finish of this Custom Shop is a triple threat: a glossy body meets a satin neck, with a polished headplate tying everything together with a final nod to the guitar's uncompromising craftsmanship.

Good Reminders to Parents & Kids, e.g., Identifying Something as "Funny" Does Not Make It Less Hurtful
Format: Paperback
What Were You Thinking? by Bryan Smith and illustrated by Lisa M. Griffin addresses common moments from a child’s life. As many parents and teachers can vouch, the answer to the title question is frequently that the child wasn’t thinking at all; they operated on impulse. Or, they were thinking but their behavior was highly unlikely to produce their expected result.
This book helps kids see that doing the first thing that comes to mind may not be their best choice. It might even accomplish the opposite of their intended goal. It also shows how kids sometimes expect something to be funny when it can actually cause others–classmates, teachers, coaches and parents– to be annoyed instead of entertained. Sometimes the “cost” of the laughter they seek, far exceeds the momentary rush of any attention.
The illustrations invite exploration of the book’s theme and make obvious that Braden’s idea of funny does not necessarily match his classmates” feelings. This can lead to conversations about the range of responses one can see within an entire classroom of kids.
What Were You Thinking? outlines a simple four step strategy which kids can practice to help them smooth out their responses and ensure that the result they get is the one which they want. A brief Tips for Parents and Educators is included which offers further information on how to guide children to develop better impulse control. Can also open conversation about intentions & how humor doesn’t lessen the pain of hurtful remarks/behavior.
AQ Lens: Kids who have experienced trauma, grief and or loss may have weak impulse control, high distractibility. Or they may have been taught negative and/or inadequate behavior strategies. In addition to learning better strategies, these kids may also have to unlearn negative strategies.
This book offers another tool for helping kids fine-tune their emotional literacy and expand their menu of choices. By exploring the gap between intended goal and actual results, families can teach kids to recognize and choose strategies that serves them better.

Son's behavior changed immediately!
Format: Paperback
Our 4-yr-old son was not following directions at school. His teacher had come back from maternity leave and he had gotten into some bad habits while she was gone. After reading this book he memorized all the steps and repeats them multiple times a day. It's only been one week but he has been a different child entirely -- an angel!
We had been talking to him for 9 months about "making good choices" but had never qualified that a good choice was one that makes the situation better (and a bad choice one that makes the situation worse). Apparently that was key! I'm not surprised that this was written by an educator who probably saw a lot of success by clarifying this distinction with his students.
I'm sure my son's amazing behavior won't last forever, but it's great to simply know that he has it in him to control his impulses. We are going to make little print-outs of the 4 steps to let him have them at school and share these tips with his teacher so she can prompt him with the same language.
Great, great book!

Excellent! Interests son w/ relatable situations, upbeat tone, & teaches to think before acting.
Format: Paperback
Kid & parent approved! Excellent book that really engages my five-year-old son. It has relatable scenarios that gets kids thinking & teaches them to think things through before acting (impulse control) to make better choices, without talking down to them, in a fun upbeat tone. My son has asked to read the book over and over. I think he likes the realistic writing style & illustrations too. The author, a former school counselor, clearly gets kids. It is a great tool for our family. I have since bought multiple books from this author. Highly recommend!
