SNAKE! - Hyatt, Carrie

. .

Résumé :
Get ready to shout, Snake! and do what Camilla the snake does when she is afraid. Kids will wiggle, hide, and shiver while exploring the fear of the unknown. A little boy scout guides readers through the actions in this wildly fun and silly story. Discover how Camilla becomes trapped in the fear of the unknown and what truth she learns that sets her free. Shout and have the satisfaction of letting fear out when you read, Snake! Then read Spider!, and continue to learn about fear by exploring how a boy becomes frozen in fear and speechless at the sight of a spider. Bee! is a cheerful and uplifting story that sends readers a powerful message on how to overcome fear. My goal with the Shout Fear Out! Series is to free kids from the debilitating effects of fear by using creatures that commonly invoke fear to create teachable moments. The story, Snake! has the added bonus for kids to be in motion. This is the perfect book for a classroom setting. Teachers can have students take turns wearing a safari hat and being the scout who leads the class doing what Camilla the snake does each time she is afraid. The interactive style of each of the stories is designed as a listening exercise to help kids listen and anticipate what is coming next. My hope is that kids and readers will enjoy predicting when they can shout, and have the satisfaction of letting it out.

Hello, I'm Carrie Hyatt, and I'm so glad to have the privilege of sharing my stories with you. My mission is to create teachable moments that touch and bond those reading my books with those who actively listen. Readers will find something deeper to discuss and something special to learn not just from my stories, but from listening to and interacting with one another. I've always had a passion for writing and for creating teachable moments with children through my written work. My desire to teach children graduated into homeschooling my own kids and running a homeschool group that grew to nearly 50 families and over 100 kids. I wrote educational curricula and devotionals for kids of all ages. Many of my children's stories were written during those precious years. I wrote, Spider!, Snake!, and Bee! from some of my own experiences dealing with fear and remembering my mom's techniques to help me cope. As a child, I used to get the heebeegeebees, and I became speechless at the sight of a spider. My fearless mom was always there to rescue me. She was very patient, creative, and careful with me and my siblings whenever we became fearful for any reason. I believe the Shout Fear Out series will help equip people both young and old to conquer some of their fears through laughter and meaningful interaction. I invite you to find something deeper to discuss and something special to learn not just from my stories, but from listening to and interacting with one another. Stories available now are Spider! Snake! Bee! & Aria Aardvark Likes Ants (great if you have a picky eater!)
