Book Pick of the Week: A Little Spark - Holidays

A great new book and more for the entire family.

“A Little Spark ” is driving its overarching 'be and do good' message home with an immersive multi-sensory / multimedia approach that combines a compelling narrative and cast of identifiable characters with full color illustrations; a custom-scored  musical soundtrack of original songs like this accessible through QR Codes while reading the book; an audiobook featuring delightful performances; fun on-and-offline activities; and invaluable life lessons that are highlighted throughout each chapter. It’s a heartening activity to enjoy with young children, grandchildren and students amid the new scholastic 'Be That Spark' elementary education lesson plan starting to roll out in classrooms.

Of special note:

Enhancing the read-along story and the various audio components, A Little Spark also comes complete with a free companion online Resource Library available at BeThatSpark.com, which boasts over 50 book-related family activities like coloring pages, character puppets, word searches, mazes, dance videos, character drawing video tutorials and more. A “Parent’s Guide” is also available to help plan and optimize the overall experience.

“Parents, grandparents, caregivers and educators are indelibly seeking great content to engage with kids, and A Little Spark is written with purpose and intention toward that end,” said Parsons. “The storyline, and the various lessons embedded throughout, underscore that even the smallest creature can make the biggest difference. This takeaway message is especially important for young, impressionable children to hear because they so badly want to be seen and heard...in today’s culture more than ever.”

Makes a great gift!
