What Is a Step?

"If you are looking for a mind-strengthening fun gift to get a special little one..., then we recommend Linda D. Marshall's WHAT IS A STEP? Our children are faced with the reality of such unfortunate words as 'bastard,' 'half-brother,' 'half-sister,' 'separation,' 'divorce' & the like; & they need a way out of the confusion & sickness produced by the manifestations of those terms. this is especially true for children of Afrikan descent whose LONGER historical & cultural reality preclude such terms. Told with good humor, maternal caring, & a child's splendid wonder, WHAT IS A STEP? is a book useful to all parents who read to, & communicate with, their young."--(THE RICHMOND NEWS LEADER). To be sure, here is a children's book whose integrity is not compromised by both its widespread AND its specific appeal: It has mainstream, multicultural, & Afrikan-centered relevance, all genuine as the warm adults & enthusiastic children who will enjoy & learn from this story of Whobee & his family. Indeed, once we open this book's bright seven-color covers, we will learn how Whobee's overhearing his mother on the phone confuses him, the lesson's he will learn, & the nature of his summer's special gift to him. A book of life- long value.Marshall, Linda D. is the author of 'What Is a Step?', published 1992 under ISBN 9781879289000 and ISBN 1879289008.
