(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 5, 2014)
New author Marisol deRivera Owen’s debut book, On a Sunny Day I…, features two young Hispanic girls on a backyard adventure and offers young readers insight not only into the natural world, but into grammar as well. By highlighting the main verb in each sentence, the book teaches children how to pick out the action word and begin to understand where a verb belongs in a sentence. Parents and teachers will appreciate how the author simply capitalizes the verbs and allows children to observe and learn—as they enjoy reading this fun story of other kids observing and learning! From butterflies to ants, from flowers to clouds, this picture book offers a fresh perspective on grammar and nature. Kids will enjoy venturing around Marisa’s backyard as she and Maya see the natural world through pink sunglasses. And parents will appreciate being reminded of how exciting it was to experience life as a child, when everything was new. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself going on your own backyard adventure after reading this gem.
