This is a
lovely book written in two languages (English & Spanish) by Ann Morris. Her writing is inspired by her son, Mikel. Small
children will find life lessons here as well as entertainment. The story takes a young boy on a walk in the
park. He and his mother discover a number of things while learning the
importance of safety.
Mikel finds
that his mother’s instructions are for his own good and he also gets to make a
choice of his own. While exploring the
outdoors Mikel spots something that requires some research. He and his mother
take a trip to find out what exactly they did see.
Spending
time with his Mom, Mikel enjoys the day, is excited to explore, and learns many
valuable things on his walk. The
illustrations by Blythe Russo, are pleasant and appealing to children. A fun
read for the little ones.

Ann (Ana) Morris Bio
Ann (Ana for
Spanish books) Morris has a deep interest in education. She knows that children have vivid
imaginations and an insatiable love of learning. Morris developed an interest in writing
children’s stories with the intention of recording memorable experiences with
young family members sprinkled with memories of her own youth.
As a teacher and
as a community worker, Morris has collaborated with and served people from many
cultures new to our country, including our Latino friends. She speaks and writes
Spanish as well as English. Her hopes
are to encourage children and parents learning to read their native language, as
well as to motivate language learners. She
includes a positive adult role model, a curious child and a unique learning
experience in each story.
