Lucky To Live In North Carolina

What do you get when you cross a read-aloud storybook with a write-in memory book? Magic moments between kids and adults! The Lucky to Live in North Carolina book is the perfect tool to jump-start meaningful conversations between generations. Read-aloud rhymes set up interesting topics. Then write-in prompts invite children to record their own views to create a personal Tar Heel State keepsake. The real gift lies in the interactive nature of the book as it offers the perfect opportunity for adults to share their own stories and wisdom about such issues as friendship, community, team spirit, and other topics that help develop a child's social and emotional skills. Customized North Carolina content—from favorite local cuisine (sweet potato pie) to interesting attractions (Grandfather Mountain)—provides an even more personalized experience.

“This work, I quickly discovered, is an intriguing twist on scrapbooking fundamentals. The magic in her work is the book’s composition. Kate’s style elicits and creates a dialogue between the parent (and other adults) and the child. For example, the child just does not by rote fill in the blanks to questions such as where do you live? Rather she raises the idea of their roots.” Zebra
