Adeline

Hi! I’m Adeline. I look forward to sharing all kinds of stuff with you. Adeline in a Gymnastics Jam is available here

Excitement of all excitements! Adeline in a Gymnastics Jam received a first place gold medal in the Florida Authors and Publishers Association 2022 President’s Book Awards in the category Children – Grades 3 to 5.

I think it is important that we are kind, caring, and compassionate. Don’t you? You and I can make a difference! WE can do this! Together.

I hope you like my first story. In case you know someone who might want to download its discussion guide, I have it here.

A Word Search Activity for You

I have always liked doing Word Search activities, and I now have a Word Search for you! What you see here is the easier version for six to seven year olds. The other downloadable word search has a bigger word list. All terms are related to gymnastics and are in “Adeline in a Gymnastics Jam.” You can download either difficulty level and print it. Share it with your friends. Have a race, and see who finishes first. Have fun!

You can send the email here.

When I was a baby, I did poses and showed my flexibility. All those movements strengthened my muscles and prepared me for gymnastics, soccer, and softball. At seventeen months, I was into Yoga moves.

I loved books from the beginning. At thirteen months, I picked up a book on my own and looked intently at the pictures and turned each page, looking at all the pictures, until I reached the end. I also enjoyed listening to stories.

The author talks with Vince Stevenson. I’ve gone international!
