Description

Mommy, Tell Me Why I Am Radiant / Mamma, perché sono radiosa? is about a charming conversation between a mother and daughter regarding the little girl's qualities that make her unique. The positive words used in the text support little girls' self-confidence and self-worth (and perhaps moms' too!). The lovely ending will remind moms that their children often grow up to be just like them. When moms live a joyful and radiant life, their children learn to live equally as joyfully and radiantly. Mommy, Tell Me Why I Am Radiant / Mamma, perché sono radiosa? helps moms teach their daughters a sophisticated vocabulary in English and Italian. This exposure to words also promotes a desire to read books and awakens a love of language that helps children become stronger readers.

Moms will enjoy bonding and reading this book with their young daughters beyond the school-age years.

Questa incantevole conversazione tra mamma e figlia ricorda alle mamme che spesso le loro figlie crescono seguendo il loro modello. Se le mamme vivono una vita gioiosa e luminosa, le loro figlie impareranno a viverla in modo altrettanto gioioso e luminoso. Le parole positive aumentano l'autostima e l'autoconsapevolezza delle bimbe piccole (e forse anche quella delle loro mamme!). E' stato osservato che nei bambini che provengono da situazioni socio-economiche differenti c'è un grande divario quanto a numero di parole che ascoltano, e l'ampio vocabolario usato in questo libro aiuta a colmare tale divario. I ricercatori indicano che i bambini che ascoltano parole nuove ed interessanti hanno più strumenti a disposizione per avere successo a scuola. Inoltre le magnifiche similitudini contenute in questo libro incoraggiano un più profondo apprezzamento per la natura e per la nostra Madre Terra.

Strumenti per i genitori: 20 parole usate nel testo sono corredate da spiegazioni semplici che ne illustrano il significato.

Reviews

"a mother vividly describes her love for her daughter as she compares her to the brilliance of Mother Earth. Her words present concrete images that reinforce her daughter's language comprehension as well as her connection to the natural world and to her own uniqueness. Reynaldo Mora's vibrant illustrations will give mothers and daughters even more in the world outside their doorsteps to talk about together." - Ann C. Barbour, Ph.D., professor, author, consultant for Sesame Workshop, and content director for KCET's A Place of Our Own and Los Niños en Su Casa.
