Bookroo's summary

Join Cassie as she embarks on a vibrant journey through her home, neighborhood, and school, introducing young readers to a world of new words. Each page bursts with color and quilt-inspired designs, captivating even the youngest eyes. As Cassie explores familiar places, children will discover vocabulary and pre-reading skills in a playful, engaging way. What new words will you learn on this imaginative adventure?

From the publisher

In this 32-page lap book we join Cassie, the main character from the picture book Tar Beach. As she takes us on a tour of her home, neighborhood, and school, dozens of new words are introduced with simple labels throughout. Young readers will love the simple story line and all the new words they’ll encounter. They’ll relish the beautifully designed spreads, each with its own quilt motif. The bright, boldly colored pages will attract even the youngest lookers, and the words will teach pre-reading skills to slightly older children. The size makes it perfect for story hours, and the price makes it perfect for every home.
