What's Your Favorite Season? Jr Edward T Vieira

In "What's Your Favorite Season?" two friends, Windy Wind and Nimbus Cloud, go on an adventure to find out what's the best season by asking many "residents" of the forest in Maine. What they find is more than they can handle. In the end however, they meet the challenge and learn that all seasons offer something for everyone. Kaitlyn Ripaldi created outstanding illustrations that capture the essence of the characters adding to the enjoyment of reading this tale.

"I've been thinking about this story for over 25 years and excited about its publication. What's Your Favorite Season? addresses some of life's challenging issues in subtle and not so subtle ways, thus exposing the reader to the various topics and allowing the reader to draw her/his own conclusions. Having studied children's reading comprehension and engagement for many years, the illustrations with the text help facilitate reading engagement by providing context and creative possibilities in a child's mind," said Vieira. Ed Vieira earned his Ph. D. in Marketing and Quantitative Methods from the University of Connecticut. His dissertation was on children's emotional and cognitive reading comprehension and involvement. He has written statistics and public relations textbooks published by Routledge, a leading global publisher of academic books, journals, and online reference that serves scholars, instructors, and professional communities worldwide and is the recipient of two teaching awards. The digital version of the book is interactive providing additional information and engaging young readers through questions and additional related content that inspire further exploration about the book topics. The book is available on Kindle and in hardcopy through Amazon and other bookstore retailers and distributors. It is published by Valerius Publishing.
