I thought you might want to see a new children’s book called How Do I Wonder? By Gianna Davy Illustrated By Brenda Rodriguez. I received a copy of the book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
I loved the cover of How Do I Wonder? has all kids of items on the cover including a Spaceship, a Flower and a Snail. The cover has cover that feels like glitter but feels soft yet rough to the touch. The colors on the book on the cover pop. I lived the pinks, blues and purples.
I like how the Author ask us if we’ve ever “heard of a place where you can go to question and daydream and let your brain grow. We learn about “what-ifs and why”. Charlie liked the word “thinker”. David and Charlie liked how the Author asked us questions that will make both children and adults stop and think.
The Author included questions about animals that will make you stop and think. Charlie wanted the answer to “If I plant a treat, will a Candy Tree grow? If so excuse Charlie and I were going to plan Oreo Cookies in our Flower bed. Would you want to help us?
The Author describes our Brain to use which could be a #teachingmoment” if your #homeschooling. I like how the Author asked us “When will I be old. And how young is young? Two years? Or sixteen? One hundred and one”.
Children could use these questions to interview there family with. You can also use How Do I Wonder? and answer the question ” What is the name of the color you’d choose, to paint all the Sunsets of later afternoon and paint a picture of the Sunsets in your #Art Class.
I like how the Author explains “curiosity” to us. Now, that I’ve shared some of How Do I Wonder? with you. I hope you take the time to share How Do I Wonder? By Gianna Davy Illustrated By Brenda Rodriguez with your friends and family.
