Little Jessie's Beach Fun is a trilingual book in English, Spanish and American Sign Language (ASL), with fun/science facts and Origami instructions to make your own paper crab!
Affable, young Jessie loves nothing more than a day at the beach with her dad taking in the sunshine, sand, trees, birds, sea animals and more. One day, her outing puts her in contact with a new friend with interesting things to teach Jessie. And the friendly girl has a pleasant surprise in store for her new friend. Who could this new pal be? And what special treat does Jessie have in store? Dive into Jessie's world and find out in Little Jessie's Beach Fun.
Appropriate for children ages 3 through 8 - but written to stretch young readers' cognitive and reading skills - Little Jessie's Beach Fun is a colorful, exciting and vibrant outdoor adventure that resonates with children curious about the world - the natural world beyond the artificial confines of video games, smart phones, televisions and tablet computers. The easy-to-read, brilliantly illustrated tale not only delivers a light, fun story with lovable characters, but also instills an early appreciation of nature and valuable lessons about love, kindness and cherished core values.
With Nat's keen focus on embracing diversity and inclusion, this book includes Spanish and is fully signed using American Sign Language (ASL). She is humbled at the opportunity to make an impact with kids, friends and families of those who are deaf or hard of hearing and/or bilingual.

About this title

About the Author

Gowri Nat was born in Chennai - a quiet, peaceful coastal city in the southern part of India. One of her most cherished childhood experiences was the fun walk to the beach with her dad. She remembers many of those visits vividly and this book is a reflection of those memories. She spent many years in the accounting field, immigrated to the US, and as a mother of two, she found that spending time with children gave her immense joy. Her love for bookstand reading, along with her passion towards child development led her to become children's author, and share her experiences with kids from around the world. She is very keen on embracing diversity and inclusion and therefore decided to include Spanish and American Sign Language (ASL) to this book. She currently resides in Bothell, WA with her husband and two children.
