The Book
"My Wandering Dreaming Mind" is a wordless picture book. Are wordless books valuable to a young reader? The answer is a resounding YES!!!
They: * develop vocabulary and oral language development, * foster observation and critical thinking skills, * improve writing skills, * build reading comprehension skills and *enhance the understanding of the story elements (character, setting, plot and theme).
Sadie is a little girl whose mind wanders and daydreams and she has a very hard time focusing on things. It affects her quality of life: her schoolwork, friends, and her everyday living. She recognizes she is having difficulty concentrating but her mind just takes her off track time and time again.
Fortunately her loving parents address her struggles and help her. They work with her and come up with an effective plan that inspires and lifts Sadies spirit so she feels empowered to take on her battle with ADHD and feel more positive about herself. The back of the book includes a note to parents and caregivers giving them more in-depth information and help if they have a child with similar issues.
The illustrations are lovely. They enrich the message of the book and make it more meaningful to both child and adult. I highly recommend this book.
