Praise for My First Little Collage ABC
As the Chief Program Officer of LitWorld, the organization behind World Read Aloud Day, I've seen firsthand how reading aloud can build connection, language, and a lifelong love of books. Deb has created a beautiful, playful book that invites exactly that kind of shared experience. With its vibrant artwork, joyful tone, and so much to notice together, it's a delightful book for little readers and the grown-ups who love reading with them."
-Amber Peterson, Chief Program Officer, LitWorld
"My First Little Collage is a stunning, artful, and whimsical depiction of the alphabet. I can’t think of a more beautiful way to engage children in learning their ABC's."
-- Dr. Gale Sinatra, Distinguished Professor of Education, Stephen Crocker Professor of Education Psychology, National Academy of Education Member, and Expert on Learning Sciences and Motivation, USC Rossier School of Education
"This ABC book introduces young learners to uniquely selected objects that introduce and reinforce the letters of the alphabet while simultaneously making readers aware of unique and creative representations of each ABC character."
-- Dr. Sandra Kaplan, Expert on Gifted Learning & Differentiated Curriculum and Professor of Clinical Education, USC Rossier School of Education
"There are so many alphabet books out there, but not like this. The intersection of real artwork and literacy skills is truly special in this book. It is not just about the letters and learning the alphabet but discovering the art that each page shares. When the arts and play have been lost in classrooms, this book reminds us that it can be a part of everything we teach in early literacy."
-- Dr. Eugenia Mora-Flores, Early Childhood Education Expert, Professor of Clinical Education, USC Rossier School of Education
