A Book to Encourage Kids
Reading is becoming a lost art, especially among children in the early elementary school grades. With video games, sports practices, and play dates vying for their attention, it takes an excellent story to get kids to pick up a book voluntarily. When the characters are likable and believable, kids naturally want to follow their adventures. This is a fun way to improve their reading skills.
Gollywood, Here I Come! is author Terry John Barto's first children's book. The story, which stars a turkey named Anamazie Marie LaBelle, is fun while teaching kids important life lessons at the same time. Through hard work and a positive attitude, she realizes her dream. Of all the children's books currently on the marketplace, no others feature a turkey as the main character.
