Description: Mommy, Tell Me Why I Am Radiant is about a charming conversation between a mother and daughter regarding the little girl's qualities that make her unique. The positive words used in the text support little girls' self-confidence and self-worth (and perhaps moms' too!). The lovely ending will remind moms that their children often grow up to be just like them. When moms live a joyful and radiant life, their children learn to live equally as joyful and radiant. Mommy, Tell Me Why I Am Radiant helps moms teach their daughters a sophisticated vocabulary in English and Spanish. The use of a robust vocabulary can help close the "word gap" which is the disparity in the number of words children from families of different socioeconomic backgrounds hear. Reading experts say that young children who hear new and interesting words are better prepared to succeed when they enter school. This exposure to words also promotes a desire to read books and awakens a love of language that helps children become stronger readers. Included on the last page, is a child-friendly definition of each fancy word used in the book as explained by 10-year old co-author, Julia Rae Rodriguez. Moms will enjoy bonding and reading this book with their young daughters beyond the school-age years. The awe-inspiring similes used in the book encourage a family's deeper appreciation of nature and our amazing Mother Earth. By day, Sandra enjoys her 15-year career in early childhood education. By night (weekends, vacations, and holidays too!), she writes children's books with the help of her young daughter, Julia Rae. Sandra and Julia are currently working on their Mommy Tell Me Book Series. The first of four bilingual picture books in the series to be published is Mommy, Tell Me Why I Am Radiant / Mami, ¿dime por qué soy radiante? Sandra is particularly passionate about teaching young children words and language because this sets a strong foundation for school and life success. She thrives on helping parents be their child's first and best language teacher! Sandra earned a Master's Degree in Education and has a teaching credential in parenting. Other passions and life purposes include: community advocacy, Aztec dance, world travel, inspiring more loving parent-child relationships, and cuddling with her son, Cristian Gabriel, and daughter, Julia Rae.
