SEVENTH READING : ROCHDALE VILLAGE, JAMAICA, NEW YORK

 August 17, 2013, on the beautiful grounds of Rochdale Village, Linda read her children book Have You Seen My Glasses? to a small, young and eager group of children, still in bathing suits just off one of the water rides.  The festivities were  provided in celebration of the 50th anniversary of this beautifully scenic housing community in Jamaica, New York..

The children were aged 2 to 7.  One little baby girl was given her very own copy of Have You Seen My Glasses? to look at and was delighted to be able to turn each page as the author did during her reading.  Arms shot up with ready answers when Linda asked questions.  Linda kept her reading short and sweet because there was a lot going on as the activities were held outside on the grounds. 

Linda had an invited guest with her,  a young man from Brazil.  Fantastic photographs were taken  of Linda by Mr. Albert Ephraim courtesy of Photographic Focus.  And Linda will be invited to participate in an upcoming youth event later this year.


Here are some photos of the event.....enjoy.....

TWO LITTLE CUTIES INTENSELY INTO "HAVE YOU SEEN MY GLASSES?"

  

----PARENTS REVIEWS----

 

 

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT LINDA'S DEBUT CHILDREN FABLE:  HAVE YOU SEEN MY GLASSES?

"This is a great story for young children. I love that all of Lucy's other animals friends help her along with her daily tasks until her egg hatches. It's also extremely funny when each of her friend looses his or her glasses while watching her egg. But what really makes this story is how Mata from Rainbow Planet provided Lucy Duck with an egg which she ended up calling Duckling Rainbow, and how Rainbow ended up with all the animal friends glasses as she went to sleep. The title of this story catches you but  it also has a sudden twist to it. "       N. R.

"My son Samir loves this book. Every night for the past week we have been reading two pages a night. Since Samir and I started reading this book his speech has improved and he is now sounding out his words, keep in mind he is only two years old. As a mother I recommend this book to all parents... And we can't wait for the next book to come out."      S.W.

"My son Jeremiah loves to read this book Have You Seen My Glasses?. One day when I was cleaning his room I saw the book on the bed and proceeded to read it. Once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. Now I see why he loves it, it is a well written book with many pictures of different kinds of animals. Also the story is amazing, I became intrigued to see how these different types of animals came together to help a friend in need. Its a great way to show children how friendships and helping friends are important. I recommend this book to parents and their kids."   T.R.
