You are hereby invited into Breezy's world A note from the author: When I speak with my children, I make a conscious effort to speak with them as I would an adult using vocabulary that will encourage them to ask questions. "What does that word mean? Why did you say that word? " I love it when I hear them use a "new word. " Vocabulary building is an important component of literacy. This book contains words meant to challenge the reader and expand his or her knowledge of the parts of speech (noun, adjective, adverb and verb). Each brain building word is in purple. The book has a glossary at the end that gives the definition of each word as it is used in the story. I hope you find this story to be entertaining, endearing and educational
