This story is about a boy named Sam who likes to spend summer with his grandfather in a beautiful country place. Together, they do many interesting things, such as fishing, hiking, camping, and picking berries. Sam’s grandfather is a ranger, but he is also the best storyteller in the world. One day, he tells his grandson a story about a star that changed his life.

The Wishing Star may appeal to parents who are trying to teach their children about the importance of our nature. I believe this story can be a useful lesson for young readers (5–9 years old) written in simple way and making them think about our nature and everything that surrounds us.

Thank you

Reviews:

“In reference to the book The Wishing Star, I observed many positive points. I liked how the length of the story was moderate (not too long and is adequate for a young reader). The book displayed expressive language, which helped stimulate the reader’s imagination. I also liked the positive message behind the story (i.e. respecting the environment). It would be a great book to use for Earth Day or recycling and conservation lessons at home or in school. Not to mention, the illustration in this book were eye catching and colorful. Overall it was great and enjoyable to read!”

“I just loved this book. From the first page to the last one, it grabbed not only my son’s attention but also mine. The way it was written, and especially the pictures took my son and me as the readers and made us be the main characters of this story. Thanks.”

“The book The Wishing Star by A.Samoilava and D.Kanter, which I had a chance to read and review recently, left a very positive impression. First of all, it spreads the idea about the importance of our nature. Second, the book has many pictures to help children better understand the authors’ idea. I also liked how the authors described the nature, which attracts the children’s attention to the beauty of everything that surrounds us.”

- Jacqueline Markov / 1st grade teacher

“I got the signed copy of this book during the presentation and sent it to my grand-daughter who is 9 years old and lives in Florida. After reading this book, she called me back and asked to find more books from these authors. She liked the story very much.”

Mommy takes away the chill with warm milk, a quilt and arms to fill…

This rhythmical bedtime story reminds us of the ups and downs of being little.

Praise for Mommy Takes Away...

In School District 59 Peace River South, there will be a copy of Sharlene Weingart´s "Mommy Takes Away" in every StrongStart and kindergarten classroom. This lovely, simple story is delightfully told and illustrated. It is aimed directly at the heart of a child. It is a perfect pre-literacy resource rich with rhyme and wonderful imagery.

Mommy Takes Away is a story that young children will instantly connect with. The story and the illustrations will appeal to both parents and children who will surely recognize themselves in this delightful picture book. I wish this book had been available when I was children’s librarian, I would definitely have used it at story time.

Your book is a huge hit in our house, Jaden read it to me yesterday obsessing over the cats in every picture, then read it again today. Kianna read it to me too and had to figure out what Katie was doing in every picture and why, and NO ONE is allowed to touch "her" book. We may need a second copy... Jaden saw the sneak peek in this book and is excited for the next one.

My 4 and 5 year old daughters can´t get enough!...they LOVE it! They bring it to me several times during the day and want me to read it...they´ve never done this before with any other book.

A cute little rhyme about what all little children go through! My daughter loves it, and likes to sit down and read it to herself!

Her adventures with her Grandparents fill her days with joy. She is frequently overheard stating, "Should we go see Grandma and Grandpa? Can we? Can we? Can weeeee?!"

Madison´s land of Oz was very scary but Dorothy was little Madison´s hero no matter what. Each day was full of pretending. Even sleeping in her Dorothy outfit and her little red shoes. Much happiness and fear this classic movie produce in her little life. Children of all ages will see how Madison and Daniel, as scared as they were from some of the scenes, in the "Wizard of Oz," They still loved watching this movie. The bright color illustrations produced by P. Cola , in a pop art form depict their story.
