Grandma's Suitcase---Where A Kid Can Always Find A Surprise!

When Grandmas come from far away to visit they always bring surprises, and it is no different for Noah and Sophi. Noah and Sophi call their Grandma "Airplane Grandma," because she always comes to visit on an airplane. The really fun part is getting into Grandma's suitcase to discover the surprises she brings. Enjoy the illustrations and the poetry of Penelope Dyan and take the time to discuss familial relationships with your children. This helps them develop concepts of who they are in relationship to the world as a whole as well as to where they fit into their immediate and extended families. A former K-12 teacher, published in 'The Kindergartner, ' as well as in 'Instructor Magazine' and in 'Humpty Dumpty' children's magazine, and an award winning author, Penelope Dyan has put her expertise, love and knowledge of children to work in each of these children's books that serve as supplements to the Penny Mouse Early Reader Series. Dyan is also the author of 'Surfer Girl' the first in a teen book series about a girl named Summer who surfs the waves of the ocean and life as she searches for her legacy. "Surfer Girl" was the winner of best teen book at both the 2008 New York Book Festival and the 2008 Hollywood Book Festival and is also recognized by Girls Voices In Literature Database, Miami University, Florida.
