Rosemary Wells Talks to Parents of Preschoolers about Reading
Rosemary Wells has written and illustrated more than 60 children's books. The recipient of many awards, she spearheaded a national campaign for early literacy called "Read to Your Bunny." In this special presentation for Silicon Valley Reads and FIRST 5, she will talk to parents about the importance of reading to their children 20 minutes a day and how to pick books that will keep the attention of preschoolers. She will provide pointers on how to read illustrated books aloud and answer questions. After children join their parents, she will read Love Waves, a book about how to feel close when loved ones are far away.
