Amy's Travel
by Kathryn Starke Category: Children’s Picture Book
Praise "Amy's Travels is a delightful adventure of a little girl who moves with her family every few years to a different continent. This appealing journey enables children to obtain a broad perspective of the world as seen through the eyes of Amy, the central character. By focusing on each of the seven continents, the reader is able to conceptualize both their vast differences and stark similarities. Beautifully written and magnificently illustrated, Amy's Travels is the perfect selection for teachers when developing children’s background experiences for Social Studies at any grade level." - Dr. Katherine Wisendanger, Professor, Literacy and Culture Program, Longwood University |
