Shanna Poes Imaginary World: Gone to the Beach

Shanna and her family are headed to the beach for the weekend. Her imaginary friends Irga, Shelby, and Bentley will be joining her this year. Shanna is so excited to introduce them to all of her summer friends. It's going to be a Very Special Vacation! Imagination is an important tool for young children. It helps them make sense of their world, and to explore new ideas and situations in a safe environment. Make room in your child's world for art, reading, and imagination! A portion of the profits from this book will be donated to Cradles to Crayons, a nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless kids. Deby Gervais is an author living in Newburyport with her husband Rick and Shih tzu Kanji. As children, innocence lets our imagination take us to places that are safe. As adults we relive our imaginary thoughts and dreams by reading stories to our children and grandchildren. My daughter Lynsey's imagination and our shared enthusiasm for reading is how Shanna Poe's Imaginary World came to be. Everyday with Shanna Poe is A Very Special Day.
