Synopsis:
Happiness Begins With Sharing
Hugo
is a little starfish. He finds his life dull. Tired of feeling sad, one
day he sets off to find happiness. After much searching, he discovers
something that makes his heart do a somersault! Sharing with others is
the only thing that makes him truly happy.
Adults strive to teach
children to share with their communities. Encouraging children to give
teaches them empathy, as well as a sense of social responsibility.
Children can feel empowered by giving and sharing with others.
Meet HUGO, a little starfish with a big heart and a curious mind.
In very story of the series he learns about a different character trade/ attitude.
The first book of HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH is an
Award-Winning Finalist in the CHILRDEN’S MIND/ BODY/ SPIRIT category of the USA “Best Books 2011” Awards.
The
key theme behind the HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH series is that building
character based on a positive attitude leads to a happy, self-confident
and successful human being. I have written this exciting series of
children’s books to help educate children about their feelings, their
attitude, their choices, and the consequences that follow.
Through
his adventures, Hugo learns many valuable lessons of character, life
skills, and ecological alertness – all amid the backdrop of a magical
underwater world and mystical islands.
In Hugo, children,
parents, and educators will discover a lovable and engaging role model
with whom they can identify. Each book offers a themed vocabulary to
introduce the Spanish language to the reader. Each book also comes with a
number of worksheets which are downloadable at no cost on our website.
We
are sure you’ll agree that life skills and character traits are two of
the most important lessons to teach the young. Age-appropriate
children’s books are crucial to child development and well-written books
that contain a message can expand not only a child’s cognitive
abilities, but also their emotional, moral, and spiritual capacities. We
believe this distinctive way of sharing a “message” through the medium
of an exciting narrative is what has given the books their charm.
The
stories were developed in conjunction with my teaching experience at an
International Baccalaureate® School and they support the different
learner profiles and attitudes of the IB PYP curriculum.
This book is a great way to teach EMPATHY and the CALENDAR.
