Button Goes to School: And Saves the Play
by Susan Louise GabrielPublish: May 31, 2023Series: The Button PackChildren's Book Overview
Charming Button the dog was born in lines of poetic verse ready to warm hearts and teach children "how to be”— kind, loving and forgiving — and how to make and keep friends. This is the first book in THE BUTTON PACK series, a set of stories about this lovable dog based on a real dog once owned by the author.
From the author— “A few years ago I started writing poetry to entertain a sad friend. It wasn’t long before it dawned on me that many of my poems reminded me of those I loved as a child from A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stephenson. Books we read as children, especially if they’re memorable, can affect us for life, and well-written rhyming verses are especially memorable. Children’s enchantment with rhyming verses can be put to best use if they consist of stories with life lessons.
“Button’s vibrant personality was captured expertly by Illustrator Jagath Kumara. Even though he never knew her, he was able to visually inject her personality into his drawings, which captured my heart and won me over, as I hope they will you, too.”
This book is the second edition.
