LOVE
IS. . . An Everyday Valentine
by Debbie Garcia-Bengochea
This
gift-sized book of ten photos is a fun, visual feast as well
as a young reader’s spinach. On every page is a sentence
that begins with LOVE IS… and finishes with words that every
child must master by the end of second grade when “learning
to read” switches to “reading to learn.” But most of all,
this little book will elicit giggles and compassion when
young readers study the photos of kids with either Magic or
Rainbow, renowned miniature therapy horses dressed up in
various costumes or bringing their special touch to a
special child. Blending photos of kids with physical
differences with various others of different ethnicities,
this little book makes a big statement: "In our current and
future world, differences do not matter." |
