This book is not intended to tell you everything about the Americas or how America came to be. It is merely intended to indicate those of us who happen to be here are simply all immigrants, even the ancient peoples of the Americas! And even the ancient peoples came in search for a better life! (And this is something a kid can discuss with grown-ups, as this is indeed the basic intent of this book, to open up the conversation!) Written and illustrated by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, this fun, 'learn to read' book, that is filled with word repetition, word recognition and rhyme, is meant to get a kid thinking. It is also meant to get the conversation flowing. Its overall size makes this book a perfect carry along for a kid-sized backpack. The extra-large print is easy on young eyes! When you are all finished reading and developing your reading skills as you add to your reading vocabulary, you can go to the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel; and you can watch the free music video that goes with this book for even more learning fun! Because if a kid doesn't have fun learning, a kid won't love to learn!
