<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sam the Ant and Sand the Ant meet Drag the Dragonfly and escape from what appears to be a Flood.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Sam and Sandy the Ant meet Drag the Dragonfly as he rescues them from what appears to be a flood. Told in English and Spanish, the three central characters represent key intrinsic values demonstrated by children as role models for adults.</p> <ul> <li>Sam the Ant persists even as fears are confronted, and is always looking to build community with others.</li> <li>Sandy the Ant affirms and trusts Sam, and learns how to risk.</li> <li>Drag the Dragonfly loves to fly high in the sky to gain a broader perspective.</li> </ul> <p>Sam the Ant was created by Samantha "Sam" Feldman and her father, Enrique C. Feldman, when Sam was between the ages of 3 and 6. Sam the Ant was from the beginning a representation of the hero inside all of us. Sam is joined by fellow ant explorer, "Sandy the Ant" and in the first of 27 books, you are quickly introduced to the third member of this traveling trio, "Drag the Dragonfly."</p> <p>The 27 books, each with a learning guide, tell one large global story centered on embracing diversity by communicating through adversity. Multiple cultures are experienced visually and through the use of questions, which permeate each story. The series is focused on empowering young children in ways which encourage them to: </p> <ul> <li>embrace discovery</li> <li>recognize multiple perspectives</li> <li>identify integrity</li> <li>foster compassion</li> <li>understand perseverance</li> <li>comprehend subtext through facial gesture and setting</li> <li>build language through provocations in the form of questions</li> </ul> <p>Each book ends with a parent guide that gives hints on how parents can use authentic dialogue strategies. Results have shown an increased desire to read, and an elevated level of curiosity and critical thinking.</p> <p> </p> <ul> </ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I am thoroughly impressed with the amount of work that Sam and Enrique have put into amassing this collection. Much like the best stories, the best teaching tools are those that come from real experiences. And the real life, father-daughter connection inherent to this work is certain to resonate with both students and teachers alike. I have no doubt that this series with it's easily accessible protagonists and expansive world will quickly become a favorite. - Dallas D. Miller Killing The Grizzly Literary Agency Splice Pictures Productions "Sam the Ant is a fantastic adventure that helps children develop their creative and critical questioning skills while teaching growth values such as acceptance, curiosity, and intellectual exploration... this series will become a classic learning tool, where children can't wait to become engaged in their own exploration of learning and thinking."
