Synopsis

An anti-bullying rhyming social story for young readers

Penelope Pig is having a wonderful day.
But it didn't always go that way.
Sometimes the other kids would make fun of her.
She was tired of it that was for sure.
She set out to change who she was.
Polly reminds her she is special, just because.

Move over Dr. Seuss, Mary Lee Kendal is in town. During Mary’s years as a teacher, she found the best way to teach was to be “entertaining without being entertainment.”  She saw how children and teens are extremely creative if you just give them a chance.  Kids learn in many different ways.  Some learn through reading, playing, singing, dancing, rhyming, or even drawing. They learn visually, and by writing poetry. They love to creatively express themselves and her classroom was one place they could do that.

So how did she come up with fun Dr. Seuss type rhyming books? As a kid she loved to rhyme.  She was always encouraged to write, read, rhyme, play, act, sing, dance, and be as creative as possible by her parents.  She feels her books bring in many of the favorite ways to learn.   Her social stories are meant to be read together out loud with an adult or older sibling and a child bringing the bond between each other even closer.  

All of her social stories are meant to educate in an entertaining way. "If I can help one child feel a little bit better about themselves, build self-confidence, self-esteem or handle being bullied, or encourage them to stand up for themselves, or a friend, then I have done what I have set out to do."

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Move over Dr. Seuss, Mary Lee Kendal is in town. Mary frequently refers to herself as a recovering high school & junior high teacher. A graduate of Indiana University’s Education & Sports Medicine Program Mary Lee currently resides in Naples Florida where she enjoys sunsets and long walks on the beach. It’s true! She is a big fan of grilling and chilling and enjoys spending time with family and friends and especially the young nieces and nephews. One of her favorite pastimes is zipping around in her convertible with her English Bulldog Louie, singing, ever so poorly to Elvis Presley. Louie enjoys the ride much more than the singing. At least that is what he says. A matter of fact, he prefers Jimmy Buffet. Just ask him. During her years as a teacher, she found the best way to teach was to be “entertaining without being entertainment.” She saw how children and teens are extremely creative if you just give them a chance. Kids learn in many different ways. Some learn through reading, playing, singing, dancing, rhyming, or even drawing. They learn visually, and by writing poetry. They love to creatively express themselves and her classroom was one place they could do that. Open the book, read the chapter and answer the questions at the end of the chapter was never done in her classroom. Boring! Have a conversation, ask kids a question and let them draw the answer? Let them, make up a song and sing the answer. Oh yes, she did! If they preferred to do a book report let them do that too. So how did she come up with fun signature style Dr. Seuss rhyming books? As a kid she loved to rhyme. She was always encouraged to write, read, rhyme, play, act, sing, dance, and be as creative as possible by her parents. She feels her books bring in many of the favorite ways kids learn. Her social stories are meant to be read together out loud bringing the bond between adult and child even closer.
