Unwrapping the Story
Ella May is an independent thinker and she knows what she likes.
"Say hello to Ella May
A girl who does things her own way...
Likes dinosaurs.
Likes insects (but not beetles)
Likes stripes ( and apples )."
Thus begins the tale of a wee non-conformist.
Thus begins the tale of a wee non-conformist.
One day her mum gives her something different to eat. Ella May is a little apprehensive to try it but mom encourages her and tells her, "It's good to try new things." Mmmmmm.... Ella quite likes that idea.
Later in the park she decides to try something new. She chooses to walk backwards throughout her day. That will be fun to try she thinks. Applying her rule to reading a book, going backwards upstairs to the bathroom and getting into bed backwards she discovers it's not as easy as she thought it would be. But Ella May is determined to keep on with her backward adventure. She continues her novel idea all through the next day at the playground which causes quite a stir with the other kids. A few days later while out on a shopping trip her mum decides to join her and see how it feels to move in backward mode.
The observant townsfolk see what the two are up to and decide to give it a try too. A huge parade of backward moving people ensue and as Ella May steps back and observes their antics she decides that she is ready to try something different... something brand new! Oh my! What could she possibly want to do next that is creative and untraditional? You will have to get the book and find out.

This is book number one of a brand new series. It will inspire kids to try out new things, think out-of-the-box and be an original. The artwork adds enrichment to the text and is very kid-friendly. I recommend the book and I back it for sure.
