From Spring to Winter! New book by Rosie Russell

Stella and the Four Seasons by Rosie Russell 

Jump through the puddles, glide on the ice, pick the flowers, and stomp into piles of leaves…




From Mrs. D:

Through her storyline and bright illustrations, Rosie Russell teaches children about nature and what each season has to offer. Illustrations are sweet and believable. Maybe more for the girls than the boys, but boys can also benefit from this book, because every child likes nature, gardening, flowers, leaves, and outside activities.

As the author takes children through the four seasons, they will search for the items that are hidden on each page, and at the end of the book, they can write their own acrostic poems and engage in fun activities, follow yummy recipes, and learn some cool facts about nature.

I read this lovely book with my grandson, who gave me a good idea of the age group. It is a perfect fit for children ages 4 to 8. It can also be a great read for beginning readers, who can read short books independently. All in all, it is a wonderful, educational book with enjoyable artwork and fun activities, which will provide learning opportunities for any child.



From the Author:

Using beautiful acrostic poems, Stella
shares her love of the four seasons.
Young readers will enjoy searching for Stella’s
favorite things.
Fun facts and activities are included in the back

of this book.

Meet Grandpa's Stories Series: Where Did Grandpa Go? Book 1



          Fall in love with Grandpa, who likes taking long detours instead of sensible shorter ways!

A Fact-filled Adventure for Young Readers


From Mrs. D



Once again, the Mojica team has focused on U.S. history by creating another educational addition to the Little Miss History series, which inspires children to learn historical facts. As in their previous history books, a mix of captivating storyline and instructive drawings combined with educational background pictures makes this new book eye-catching and important. From the very first pages, readers dive into fascinating history, which kids will enjoy and find easy to understand. It is a wonderful synopsis of amazing battleships, tragic wars, and life on the ship that children can learn and hopefully understand why and how these ships were built.


“Little Miss HISTORY Travels to the Battleship IOWA” revealed cool educational facts about the names in the memoriam, the construction of the actual ship, and life inside it. The fact that President Franklin D. Roosevelt was on the ship for a secret mission made it really intriguing, and the map of Europe in 1939 and Vicky the dog, who slept beside Roosevelt’s bed and had her own sailor's suit, made this book really special and upbeat.



The artwork and pictures are easily recognizable. They covered the sights that people are eager to see. And of course, Miss History is along for the sailing, describing events as they progress and bringing to life this piece of history that should be remembered and passed on to our younger generations. I really love the vivid and realistic photos and illustrations—nostalgic, but entertaining, perfect tools for educators to shine some light on these important facts of our history. And that is why this new book is one that I would recommend adding to your child’s library. It is a clever and fun way to teach your children about this specific landmark and why it is such an important part of American history.



Biography

Barbara Ann Mojica, M.A. S.A.S., S.D.A is a historian and retired educator. Her education career spans more than forty years serving as a teacher, special educator, principal, and school district administrator.

Using the whimsical Little Miss History character to narrate her book series, Barbara hopes to educate, entertain and inspire children to learn about historical people and places. Little Miss History's antics make reading nonfiction a fun-filled adventure for all ages. She firmly believes, "If you don't know your history, you don't know what you're talking about.




The Little Miss HISTORY book series has garnered more than two dozen awards including B.R.A.G. Medallions, International Book Excellence Awards, International Readers' Favorite Awards, Eric Hoffer, and Independent Author Network Awards.

The Garden Games: Delish and Fun Rhyming Story!



The Perfect Book for Little Ones with Green Fingers (Comes With FREE Colouring Book)! 




From Mrs. D: 


What child wouldn’t enjoy a yummy story which took place in the garden? Especially when the main characters are very active veggies that encourage all kinds of activities. 


This scrumptious book encourages young readers to learn more about healthy habits and active lifestyles. The rhymes are bouncy and the colorful artwork on each page jumps out at the reader. It is fun to look at their funny faces, full of adorable expressions, as they are playing all kinds of sports and games. Both authors are well informed about gardening, and it makes the book even more interesting. This is a great book for young children, which displays the outdoor fun through the story line and well-thought-out illustrations. It will be a terrific addition to any young child, parent, babysitter, school library, or day care center. Well done!



About the authors:


Jason Conchie
  
(Author), 
Alexandra Conchie (Author)

Instead of taking any of the profits, Mr and Mrs Conchie took the money in copies of the book to give to the Salvation Army in Banbury and Oxford to be gifted to children in needy families at Christmas.


But the success of Garden Games encouraged the couple to produce another children's book for Christmas.

"Alex has always been mad about Christmas and seeing how well the Garden Games book went she decided she wanted to create a Christmas one. Most of this was her work and I did the editing," said Mr Conchie,sport therapist. 



 More from the authors:

"Banburyshire couple's children's Christmas book reaches top spot on the Amazon chart." From Banbury Guardian 


"In A Carrot on Christmas Eve the carrots are worried that Santa's reindeer might possibly wanting to eat them. And what happens when you use vegetables while making a snowman?

This publication went straight to the top of the same Amazon chart, knocking the Garden Games book from the Number One position. And profits from this storybook have paid for for copies that have been taken to Crisis in Oxford this week for distribution this Christmas.

Mr Conchie said he and his wife, an ambulance technician, have really enjoyed writing and producing the books. The success of the books has been a huge bonus and the couple have received many messages from people saying how much their children have enjoyed the stories.

The greatest news this Christmas is that Isla's condition has improved and she has been taken off medication."

An all-around sunny story!





BY  Alex Khramova 



From Mrs.D. 


“In Search of the Sun” by Alex Khramova is one of those old folklore stories that draw in children of any age. The book is well thought through and beautifully illustrated, sweet and appealing, suitable for young readers who like slightly longer stories, packed with magic and adventures. The characters are simple, but real. They teach children about teamwork, kindness, friendship, and compassion, while taking them to learn about different places.

 

Each page is colored in fun hues, which makes this book very attractive. It carries a wonderful message—never leave behind someone who is weaker.

 

Even though a foreigner, the author did her best with translation and editing. I am sure it reads much smoother in her native language, but overall it is a good little book, which would make any child happy. I read it to my grandson, who is six, and he plunged into the story immediately. Just a lovely work all around!



About the author






Alex Khramova is an author of fairy-tales, stories for children, poems and other genres of books. She was born in a small town near the Volga River, but then moved to Moscow, where she pursued a degree on international relationships at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

working on her PhD on politology. She likes travelling and has a sailing skipper license.

The Cat That Wanders By Itself:PUBLISHED!!

Published!





As long as I have a cat, I have a good, trusted friend. That friend may be a little quirky or opinionated, but it’s one that’s always by my side. Nyda and I shared a special bond and love. 








She entertained me with her behavior, and I put up with her disappearing for weeks at a time.






 She was an unusual calico cat, an expert on life, with intelligence, dignity, and playfulness in equal proportion. 





She understood when to be sweet and charming and when to ignore everything, when to be independent and strong and when to cuddle up to me. 




 Amusing, impulsive, and often unpredictable, she lived on the edge, exploring every opportunity and taking risks, believing that there must be more than nine lives.




 I wrote this story as a tribute to her adventurous life. My hope is that readers will see how unique Nyda was—a loyal and caring companion, a brave explorer and lucky survivor, a free spirit that wandered many places but was always in my heart.
