Book Engages Children in Poetry and Stories
Wassmann’s Book Brings Joy and Lessons Through Words that Rhyme
With the latest advancements in technology and the advent of Youtube, many parents engage their children through online activities. But with the harm that it does to children’s health and safety, isn’t it better to bring back the old tradition of storytelling through personal interactions, book-reading, and rhymes?
Well, aside from telling stories and featuring her artworks, this is what Marilyn Wassman hopes to achieve in her book “What the Wind Blew In”. The book tells 6 incredible stories that bring emotions and lessons through poetry.
The book contains the following stories: “Tiptoe Through the Toadstools”, “Ballad of the Birdhouse”, “Tale of a Tigger”, “Why Cry Butterfly?”, “Flube-A-Dube”, and “Mice Works” – all involving animals and cute stories that will surely leave your children wanting for more.
Sanjin, a Vine Voice Amazon reviewer says, “What a cute and bubbly book! This is a collection of six stories for children, accompanied by wonderful illustrations and a unique, rhyming writing style. I loved the rhythm, the themes, and the all-around whimsical atmosphere the author managed to create. This is a fun read for kids, and I don’t doubt they’ll enjoy reading it, listening to it, and even looking at the artwork. Outstanding work!”
As an artist, Wassmann also features her drawings that bring life to the stories. After all, a picture paints a thousand words, they say!
