Origami Orchestra: The Dreamscape Series, cartea 1

Autor Ammie Elliott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2019
Let your imagination unfold as an orchestra of origami debuts its soulful tune just for you. In this 286-word story, readers are introduced to a whimsical land where the art of origami is anything but stiff. The magic continues even after the story ends with a few did-you-know fun facts and step-by-step instructions on how to craft an origami water lily. Origami Orchestra is part of a new book series titled The Dreamscape Series. The collection is a celebration of inclusiveness. No matter our gender, race, or cultural differences, everyone dreams. This book, and the others in the series (coming soon), incorporate new words and information in order to strengthen vocabulary, language, and reading skills, while exploring a playful dreamscape (the environment of the dream). Each dreamscape is built around rhyming stanzas that capture the fluid nature of dreaming, increase word retention, and will continually engage the reader long after the final line. The Dreamscape Series is designed to withstand the test of time, hold the interest of readers of all ages (but targeted age is 0-8), and invoke a deluge of curiosity about new wonders, things, and ideas. Open up and allow the worlds of our dreams to come alive. __________ Did you know that a mountain could actually be a unicorn's horn? Have you ever seen an origami orchestra play? Or are you one of the lucky few that have danced with life-size gingerbread men, then floated off on the scents of baked goods? Inspired by such questions and my own curiosity, I conceptualized and wrote a children's series, The Dreamscape Series. The first collection of titles are Origami Orchestra, Beaked In, Unicorn Horn Mountain, and Butterfly Ride. Dreams can be powerful and poignant, but may also leave us with more questions than answers. The Dreamscape Series reverses that concept by incorporating new words and information that strengthens vocabulary, language, and reading skills, while exploring a playful dreamscape (the environment of the dream). Each dreamscape is built around rhyming stanzas that capture the fluid nature of dreams, and will continually engage the reader long after the final line. The series is designed to withstand the test of time, hold the interest of readers of all ages (but targeted age is 0-8), and invoke a deluge of curiosity about new places, things, and ideas. Refreshing our point of view and unlocking our imaginations can lead to the greatest discoveries, and allow the worlds of our dreams to come alive.

Notă biografică

I've been telling stories my whole life. I've always found wonder in creating something, and really believe we are all artists in our own way. I decided, when I was five (I'm not kidding), that I was going to be a writer, so I've literally worked my whole life toward that goal. I attended Ohio University and graduated with my B.A. in English. From there, I wanted to take my love of words even further, so set off to England for my M.A. where else should someone study English than in England, right? While there, I launched a creative writing magazine for the university with the help of a colleague, and I also created a free after-school program through the English Department so I could teach poetry and creative writing to underprivileged children. After acquiring my Master's in Literary Theory as well as Contemporary Literature and Film, I came back to the U.S. and began looking for my next adventure. I spent 13 years working in the private aviation industry and honed my writing skills in a variety of positions from technical writing to communications and business standards, to global editor and writer to content management. I grew up loving to read, especially The Berenstein Bears books. I have always dreamed of writing my own series, and creating The Dreamscape Series (which were inspired by my daughter) have led me to meet such incredible artists in Columbus, Ohio, like Travis McCoy, who brings my books to life with his illustrations. I've been working on my Dreamscape Series books for years-inspired by my own daughter-and have met such incredible artists in Columbus, Ohio, like Travis McCoy, that led me to bring my books to life.
