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 Gentilezza prende il sopravvento! La semplice azione di un bambino che sorride attira folle e scettici, ma il risultato alla fine è sorprendente. Dopo aver condiviso questa storia, tu e tuo figlio potreste decidere di iniziare una vostra campagna del sorriso.
Scritto dalla giornalista in pensione Kathleen Rasche, Rasche incoraggia gli adulti a condividere l'esperienza della lettura con i bambini che amano. "I bambini a cui vengono lette storie sono lettori migliori a scuola e sono pronti per una vita di avventure da leggere. I genitori che leggono storie ai loro bambini hanno un modo per esprimere il proprio amore in modo speciale negli anni rapidissimi in cui i bambini sono ancora piccoli" ha detto Rasche.
Il Bigliettino sulla Panchina contiene 26 pagine e 24 illustrazioni a colori.
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
Like its popular and acclaimed predecessors, Restoration London and Dr Johnson's London, thisfascinating evocation of Elizabethan London is the result of the author's passionate interest in the practical details of everyday life and the conditions in which most people lived, which most history books ignore: the streets, houses and gardens; cooking, housework and shopping; clothes, jewellery and make-up; medicine and sex; education, etiquette and hobbies; religion, law and crime.
