Dawn’s book, “The Big Blue Bowl: Sign Language for Food” received a delightful review from Booklist:
“Children who are interested in learning sign language will find the Story Time with Signs & Rhymes series an intriguing place to start…. The pleasing, thickly colored artwork is well above that found in many series books, and even without the sign-language hook, kids will enjoy the repetition and rhyme of the tale. “Fun Facts” and “Signing Activities” neatly close this well-thought-out book.”(Ilene Cooper, Booklist)
Dawn lives in Portland with her husband, two children, two cats, a dog and a guinea pig. Learn more about Dawn and connect with her directly at www.smalltalklearning.com.
