Where Is Charlotte? captures the game of Hide-and-Seek as played by a feisty and fun little fireball. Drawing on the classic children's tune, "Fr?re Jacques," adults and children read and sing together, bringing to life a young girl not afraid to say, "No." Our little trickster has an authentic and assertive voice (perhaps a tad cheeky) and a playfully sassy non-verbal style. Charlotte bravely goes from familiar inside hiding places to "climbing trees" and "riding a breeze."
A young reader is empowered by an adventurous and imaginative child navigating her own personal energy and space. Confidently expressing a range of emotions and one's own true voice ultimately nurtures physical affection and loving connection. Reading Where Is Charlotte? will have children of all ages aspiring to the author's playfully-affirming mantra: To be your fullest self without being (too) full of yourself! In fact, our personal, never-ending game of Hide-and-Seek is the path of self-discovery and actualization.
