Bugs, Bites, the Garden and a Piece of Heaven

This is the story of a Garden and the whole life that revolves around it. A beautiful Garden created and cared for by grandparents and their most frequent inhabitants: insects, animals, plants, and grandchildren. This Garden appears rich in detail as a map for the tales of this book. As a consequence, this prompts children to understand a little bit about geographic references and locations, sun movement, and temperature. In addition, the story encourages child readers to flip through the book or eBook whenever they want to go back on the page of the Garden or map, to imagine the adventure in more detail after each little tale has gone.This book can be enjoyed with children over a long period of time! We suggest calmly reading two or three stories a day, to give children the time and space to playfully imagine the map and the places where the stories are set. As such, it can be used to encourage children to explore the pages themselves, giving them the freedom to go back and forth between the map, garden, and the stories to stimulate their creativity and curiosity. This collection is based on the memories of two grandchildren who live with their grandparents in a house full of life. These stories are intended to be read and enjoyed with family and friends.Authors - Karen Montebelo H.
