Waiting for Zoe
Is your child facing a change? This delightful chapter book shows kids the benefit of staying calm and open to change.
When main character and military kid Zoe-Marie finds out that there is a move in her future she is understandably anxious, uncertain, and a bit hesitant to embrace the move.
A great "first chapter" book for early readers and a wonderful family read aloud book. In this story Zoe-Marie, an eight-year old daughter of a soldier confronts a change that demands she come to term with leaving longtime friends, school, and a cherished vegetable garden behind when her mother receives a new duty assignment.
With the help and encouragement of her parents and her best friends, Zoe-Marie comes to understand that moving and change are not necessarily bad. In the end she finds a way to face her upcoming move with generosity, optimism, and enthusiasm.
This book teaches children that change can sometimes be good and that they have the power to turn what they perceive will be a negative change into a positive experience by keeping an open mind and giving the new situation a chance, by "waiting to see" what happens.
In this beautifully and vibrantly illustrated chapter book, main character Zoe-Marie's fears about moving and her grief of leaving behind her best friends, her home, and her vegetable garden are acknowledged and validated by her parents who also encourage her to share her feelings and reassure her that they will be there to listen, understand, and to provide any help that she needs.
This heart-warming story, with its wonderful cast of multi-ethnic friends that listen and echo in "kid talk" what Zoe-Marie's mom and dad have already told her make Zoe-Marie finally decide that her move may just work out fine!
Great for Parents and teachers, this book is used in the book "Homeschooling not School at Home" by author and educational speaker Dawnielle Allen, who in her book has included lesson plans from this story. "Zoe-Marie Wait and See" can help you to open a discussion with your kids about:
