Then, just like CiCi & Ace, children everywhere can discover how good it feels to give to others, making others feel loved and appreciated by giving handmade cards.
From this story, children learn how important it is and how good it feels to thank the people who make their lives so special.
Each CiCi & Ace picture book includes a free CD filled with dramatic stortytelling, interaction between the characters and delightful songs relating to the theme in each book. Also relating to the themes are special parenting sections in each book filled with tips and suggestions as to how parents can continue to build on the gentle messages put forth in the books. Rainey also includes a page of interactive art activities that families and friends can do together.
Through song, creativity, vivid illustrations and simple, powerful stories, The Adventures of CiCi & Ace contribute to a childs overall sense of self. These gentle life lessons will provide learning, fun activities and establish a dialogue between parent and child, thus contributing to the all-important early years of parent-child bonding.
