Penned and illustrated by a former preschool instructional coach and highly qualified Lead Teacher IV serving the Head Start community for well over a decade, Sandy and Her Book was created as a response to parents and educators searching for available resources that increase the quality of their literacy engagement activities.

With origins rooted in successful classrooms, libraries, and homes as a literature introduction tool,  'Sandy' has been designed to correlate with social/emotional, cognitive, and language skills necessary to prepare any 15-60 month old child for their next step in development.

Enjoy the rhyming story of a young bookworm as she models emotional expression with your child, then flip to the back for age-appropriate methods of implementation nurturing high quality adult/child interactions.

​

 Become an early learning literacy expert (or confident in sounding like one) and give your child the consistent literary experiences they deserve!  

​

This double-edged educational sword is a means to guide children towards that "deeper and fuller understanding" of which Dr. Katz spoke.
