At four years old, my daughter, Lauren, began speech therapy twice a week.
Our plan was to strengthen Lauren’s communication skills before she
entered Kindergarten. The following spring I began to witness and write this
story. My idea was to engage Lauren in the storytelling process through a
pictorial format that we together could create and share.
Lauren’s awareness of the world around her and her delight in developing
a tender, fragile connection with nature through It’s Springtime In
My Backyard opened the door to her growing desire to read, create, and write.
This
book is the celebration of Lauren’s journey into the wonderful world
of reading, writing and storytelling. My wish is that all children who enjoy
Springtime will discover the joy of communicating and expressing
their thoughts and imaginations. For they too have stories to tell.
To make storytelling easier, Spring Ducks Books,LLC has designed two blank
books, one for the individual storyteller, and the other for a group tale.
