First of all, I am the mother of fraternal twins and the two four year olds in this story, Amarys and Indigo, are also fraternal twins. I know first hand the rapport and connectedness that twin siblings experience and how much they love to share and discuss their experiences. Secondly, I very much enjoy reading children's books as I am a former elementary school teacher and this colorful children's books is sure to please many young children.

And last but not least I have nine grandchildren and some of the younger ones will also take great pleasure in this imaginative and creative reading experience. The use of repetition is a great educational tool and the illustrations by Sandie Chica are sure to add to the reading pleasure of its young audience. It is just a good book. I met the author in person, in a very small farmers market with about 4 or 5 stands. Great personality with great children. She is the wife of my wife's long lost cousin for decades.

Cousins reunited in the farmers market of Hawaii, you never know what you will find in a farmers market. Grady Harp Top Contributor: Author Amira Shea and Illustrator Sandee Chica have produced a children's book that makes a very fine learning-to-read story for youngsters complete with words that look alike but mean very different things. Amarys and Indigo are 4 years olds and are usually good kids, performing morning duties as instructed, until one day they notice a big yellow mushroom growing out of the floor of their bathroom. Their mother is called and places the bathroom off limits, forcing Amarys and Indigo to sit in the yard and ponder about the mushroom, whether it is a fairy's umbrella or an opportunity for Indigo to smash it - one of his favorite pastimes.

Soon their mother allows them in the bathroom, having thrown away the mushroom. And life returns to normal. The story is simple but takes on several levels of interest. First, the characters are Island kids Amira Shea lives in Hawaii and observes children's adventures and turns those meaningful moments into books , the theme seems at first one of establishing healthy routines as good habits in life, and then the idea of calling mother to explain a new phenomenon instead of panicking and absorbing the parental resolution to return to normalcy.

It is a nice approach and one not often taken. And the images of Amarys and Indigo as drawn by Sandee Chica are adorable! Grady Harp, September There's a problem loading this menu right now. Learn more about Amazon Prime.
