young kids with more words

Jenny&Josh: Thunder and Lightning.

~ Alessandra ~ 1 Comment

Haven’t you noticed that it is easier to ease children’s simplest concerns and fears if we encourage them to open up about what troubles them, and that it often helps to gently poke a bit of fun at what seems to be the matter? My children and I eventually figured out that the huge scary monster would shrink into a pitiful tiny bug when we talked about it, and dissected it with some light-hearted reasoning and laughter.

Thunder and Lightning is another story from the Jenny&Josh‘s series.

Thunder and Lightning is a work in progress. You might have noticed that the illustrations’ style is different from The Worldly Tooth Fairy‘s. I enjoy ‘experimenting’, and since I happen to be undecided about which illustrations I like better, your input would be much appreciated. Thank you.

How ‘Elvis and Me, and Our Pet Humans’ came to be.

When my youngest kid left home to college I felt a pang of uselessness and, although always on the move, felt that nothing was enough to fill my days. After feeling troubled and dissatisfied for a while, I resolved to concentrate on what I love most, drawing and painting, this time recollecting bits and pieces, morsels, about life with my growing kids.

My children grew up with two of the smartest and ‘curiousest’ felines I can think of; so keen on being constantly between our feet that, if you didn’t know better, you would think they were dogs in disguise.

Elvis and Elton have been such inherent participants to our family’s young years that I wrote stories where they, as our owners, tell about daily life with their pet humans.

MEEEOW! Our book will soon be available for the sophisticated human cub.
We’ll keep you posted.

Enjoy your Memorial Day week-end! I will be back next Tuesday with more morsels to share. Ciao, Alessandra

Why “WordierMe”

~ Alessandra ~ 3 Comments

Today, May 13th 2019, is a very special day!

Every year on this day we celebrate the Birthday of my middle child, a beautiful young woman who, a while ago, was my most precious Mother’s Day present. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Today my son is starting his new exciting job! CONGRATS! My youngest girl, a future Doctor in Physiotherapy, is having, today, an important interview regarding her next Clinic. KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!

And today I am for the first time publishing on Every Morsel Matters! HURRAY!

I chose WordierMe (Me, with more words) as the publisher of my children’s books, because I firmly believe that to introduce children to a richer vocabulary from a young age will encourage them to be more comfortable and successful at expressing themselves, both academically and socially. My books will include challenging words (words that might not be commonly used daily by a child) that will be simply explained, for the young reader to be able to understand and assimilate them.

Coming soon, the links to the books.
