At four years old, Lauren, the author’s daughter, began speech therapy twice a week. The plan was to strengthen Lauren’s communication skills before she entered kindergarten. The following spring, Ms. Mazur began to witness and write this story. Her goal was to engage her daughter in the storytelling process through a pictorial format that with Lauren she could create and share. After taking the photographs and discussing the story with Lauren, Ms. Mazur decided to make a professional recording of her daughter reading the story, an idea that brought boundless rewards.
Lauren’s awareness of the world around her and her delight in developing a tender, fragile connection with nature through It’s Springtime In My Backyard opened the door to her growing desire to read, create, and write.
This book is the celebration of Lauren’s journey into the wonderful world of reading, writing and storytelling. The author’s wish is that all children who enjoy this book will discover the joy of communicating and expressing their thoughts and imaginations, for they too have stories to tell.
