The Silver Hairbrush

About this book

TIME. That is what this activity book will give the child wanting more one-on-one time with their grown-up (and vice versa)! High-lighting the wonderful art from Illustrator Emily Hercock in The Silver Hairbrush, written by Taryn Aina, this book allows parents and their child some together time. The book is designed to encourage not only physical closeness with the shoulder-to-shoulder and elbow-to-elbow posture, but also an emotional closeness as conversation and story-telling unfold.Four task prompts of SHARE, DO, ASK and CHALLENGE bring variety to the readers. * The SHARE prompt allows child and grown-up to share specific thoughts or experiences. (SHARE: What's one thing you've wondered about planets and stars.) * The DO prompt is a focused activity to be completed by both. (DO: Draw a picture of how your family likes to chill.) * The ASK prompt gives opportunity for child and grown-up to learn a little more about each other as a question is asked and attentive listening is practiced. (ASK: What can I do to cheer you up?) * The CHALLENGE prompt presents a task (timed or untimed) for both participants to do that is physical in nature. Who doesn't like a little friendly competition? (CHALLENGE: Do your best dance moves for 20 seconds, then SWITCH! Ready, set, GO!) Children ages 4 through 9, along with their grown-up, will enjoy these activities that nurture a deeper bond while making memories!
