The Note on the Bench - English/Spanish edition

Kindness rules the day! After finding a note on a park bench, one child's smile attracts crowds and skeptics. What did the note say? Why is the child smiling? There are surprising results in the end. After sharing this story together, you and your child may decide to start a smiling campaign of your own.
Written by retired journalist Kathleen Rasche. Rasche encourages grown-ups to share the reading experience with the children they love. "Children who are read-to are better readers in school and are prepared for a lifetime of reading adventures. Parents who read to their children get to express their love in a special way during those fleeting years when children are young," Rasche said.
The Note on the Bench is 26 pages long with 24 full-color illustrations.
¡La amabilidad gobierna el día! Un simple acto de un niño sonriente atrae a multitudes y escépticos, pero tiene resultados sorprendentes en el final. Después de compartir esta historia juntos, usted y su hijo pueden decidir iniciar una campaña sonriente por su cuenta.
Escrito por la periodista retirada Kathleen Rasche, Rasche anima a los adultos a compartir la experiencia de lectura con los niños que aman. "Los niños que son leídos son mejores lectores en la escuela y están preparados para toda una vida de aventuras de lectura. Los padres que leen a sus hijos pueden expresar su amor de una manera especial durante esos años fugaces cuando los niños son jóvenes ", dijo Rasche.
La Nota sobre el Banco es de 26 páginas con 24 ilustraciones a todo color.

About the author

Kathleen Rasche is a retired journalist and photographer. She published "Cake for Breakfast Every Day" after visiting an elementary school for a storybook festival and finding that many of the children there were not read to. She hopes all her books will encourage that special experience of reading between child and parent. Her books are available in bilingual editions.

Summary

Suburbia is a jungle, filled with lots of vicious creatures.
Take the Paradise Heights Women's League board. Lyssa Harper should have warned golden-haired DILF du jour Harry Wilder what he was getting into when she invited him to meet the mommies who run their suburban, gated community. At least he brought cupcakes. Since meeting the former Master-of-the-Universe turned stay-at-home single dad, Lyssa has been his domestic Sherpa, teaching him the ins and outs of suburban life. She just didn't realize her friends would show up at his house unannounced with casseroles, leopard-print bikini briefs, and plans to rearrange his kitchen cabinets.

The truth is, if Harry and his wife, the neighborhood's "perfect couple," can call it quits, what does that mean for everyone else? Lyssa's husband, Ted, is a great father, but he pays her Pilates-pumped momtourage more attention than he does his own wife. Her friends gossip about the neighbors while ignoring their own problems: infertility, infidelity, and eating disorders.

When Harry sets boundaries with his new fan club, he is exiled from the neighborhood's in-clique. But Lyssa refuses to snub him. What she never expects is the explosive impact her ongoing friendship with Harry will have on her close-knit pals-and on her marriage.
