Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Based on true events about the author's 4-year-old son and his monkey puppet, readers will relate to this values-rich narrative if they have ever had or still have a stuffed animal, puppet, toy, or possession that is precious to them. Themes include love, gift-giving, gratitude, family, friendship, sharing, collections, manners, colors, numbers one to six, and stores in the community. The monkeys in the story are "sooo different," and "just like us," which welcomes discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion. For ages 3 to 8, repetition and description encourage young children and even the most reluctant readers to read. The punctuation and grammar help to encourage fluency, expressive reading, and confidence. In the "AFTERWORD," the author shares the book's creation journey as well as her personal experiences and beliefs about collections, the authorship process, and the importance of research and exploring multiple perspectives. UNIQUE to this cumulative pattern book is the illustrations are created by the author's SIX grandchildren, ages 6 to 16. These ILLUSTRATORS, along with the "AFTERWORD," help to motivate ALL children and adults to become ARTISTS and ILLUSTRATORS, RESEARCHERS and AUTHORS! Get ready to INSPIRE, EMPOWER, CREATE, and CELEBRATE! This book is also available in French-English and in Spanish-English. Stay tuned for BILINGUAL editions in other languages.
