"Your kids will LOVE Kamana for Kids."
Artfully written by Bob Repoley and beautifully illustrated by Barbara English (both Kamana graduates), these nature stories and activities will educate as well as inspire the children in your life. It teaches them basic awareness skills in a gentle and safe manner.
Each story ends with an activity page that can be turned in for a personal response from the authors.
A note from John Gallagher, former Director of Independent Studies:
I just wanted to let you know that my 5 year old son LOVES Kamana for Kids. It is so great to see him go out to his sit spot and want to do the activities in the book. Most of all, he just loves listening to me read him the stories.
His favorite pages are of course the ones with the illustrations. They are colorful and well done. It has been a book that we have wanted to do for years. We always wanted a Kamana for Kids, and it took two of our elder Kamana graduates to figure out the best way to do it was through storytelling. Bob and Barbara formed a great partnership to bring you this series.
What is the AGE RANGE for this book?
Being that they are stories with illustrations, you can read it to a 3 year old and he or she will love it. For the child who can read, they can go through the stories and do the activities on their own or with your help. I would say ages 2 or 3 to 11 or 12. As a parent, that's my best estimate.
The book is 88 pages. I know $29 may seem a bit pricey, but understand that this is a full color book, and is printed in small batches from a cottage-publishing house. Your purchase helps them get closer to being able to print larger amounts, which will make it available to more kids in the future.
We also have two other Kamana for Kids books in the series available through our website.
