Magical, educational and realistic all in one. The book is meant to be a mesmerizing, fun and education read for children ages 3 and up. The words are sized for little ones to be able to recognize words easily. And the story is written in a way to teach children a variety of emotions and how to regulate them. Although perseverance is a virtue we come to face in later years, the earlier we learn it, the better we can structure it in to our daily lives and who can better teach this value to children, than an ocean animal. This is the only tale of perseverance ever told by a courageous oyster from under the sea. A little boy makes a surprising discovery, and meets a new friend who shares with him a story about self-discovery, courage and bravery and the value of friendships. Set in the beautiful ocean world, the lessons learned are ones he’ll never forget.Currently only available in English.“What a delightful way to teach children ways to overcome challenges and foster perseverance. Dr. Namin’s gentle message will likely resonate in the ears and minds of children as they read and reread “The Ocean’s Riddle” for years to come. A great addition to any parent, teacher or counselor’s library.” Kim TaylorFirst Grade TeacherFarnaz is a Doctor of Psychology and mother of two children.
