Patricia Storms – författare

Varje morgon väntar Dennis på att trädgårdsmästaren ska säga de underbara orden: ”Okej, Dennis. Nu ska vi gå ut.” Dennis tycker inte om det mörka, trånga verktygsskjulet, men annars har han en fin dag, tillbringad med att rulla runt i gräset, ta en tupplur på trädgårdsmästarens fötter och leka i strålen från vattenslangen. Hundens trädgårdsmästare är en solighistoria om att njuta av de saker vi älskar, särskilt i sällskap av en god vän.

In this timeless bedtime story, the moon’s luminous, watchful presence inspires wishes of hope and love, with dreamy watercolour illustrations by acclaimed illustrator Milan Pavlović.Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be the moon?“I wish I were the moon,” says the speaker in this timeless bedtime story, “so that I could shine on you.” The moon shines to guide a journey home, glistens beautifully on icy snow, and wishes peace and safety for travelers, friends and troubled hearts.Milan Pavlović’s dreamy watercolor illustrations complement this sweet story from Patricia and Guy Storms. Children and the adults who read to them will be delighted as moon wishes reach over icebergs, into towns, through forests and under the sea.Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.4Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.4Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone
