Paired verbs tell two parallel stories between the human world and the natural world: While a father nurtures a son during a birthday camping trip, the sun nurtures our planet in this inspirational picture book. Linda Joy Singleton's (Crane and Crane) simple sequence of verbs invites comparison of word meanings and concepts. Richard Smythe's (Crane and Crane, The Mighty Steam Engine) colorful illustrations inspire observations and highlight the different meanings of the paired words. Perfect for celebrating father-son relationships and our relationship with nature, this charming book makes a great Father's Day gift or read-aloud for preschoolers and older children.
Author
I started writing at 8 years old and when I speak to kids at schools or libraries I show them the stories I wrote as a child. I loved mystery series like Judy Bolton and Nancy Drew, and my DREAM was to write a series of my own. This happened when My Sister the Ghost was published by Avon books in 1994. Since then I’ve been fortunate to write other series like The Seer, Dead Girl trilogy, Strange Encounters, Regeneration and Curious Cat Spy Club. I recently added a mini mystery to the Curious Cat Spy Club series titled Dog Rescue Time Warp which has a surprise ending. I love hearing from fans and always write back. And I’ll send a spy activity packet to anyone that asks. Email link at www.LindaJoySingleton.com
