“The Catcher Dream” was born as a poem and remains so in this
newly minted Book Five of Kelly Anne Manuel’s Childhood Classics.

In this story the Child is invited on a journey where self-empowerment is
modeled through an interaction between the narrator and a fictionalized
character known as the Catcher Dream.

This is a story where the narrator models strength and courage once an
uncomfortable matter is identified through self-assessment.

“The Catcher Dream” offers a standing invitation to the Child.
The Child will learn that they are individuals in charge of safeguarding
their physical and emotional space. It is an example of how imperative it is
to process the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that uncomfortable matters
provoke.

 The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair
perfectly with their presentation. The Child will observe illustrations that
are in alignment with the serious tone of the story. It is important that
the art match the conflict presented and resolved by the narrator.

The narrator shows the Child that once a boundary was encroached upon,
speaking up in a firm manner provided a solution. Children learn how to
handle conflict by observation. It is important for their literature to
address a balanced yet firm approach to conflict resolution.

The author intends this book to be a launch pad for discussions about
personal space, respect, and boundaries. These are all areas that deserve to
be explored frequently as the Child ages. It is in Early Childhood that
futures are being constructed.

“The Catcher Dream” is a tool in a Caregiver’s toolbox to assist
with that healthy formation. The idea that self-empowerment is formed during
these early years is embraced by the author.

The Children who read this book will be rewarded with a valuable lesson
that facing fears results in the positive trait of resilience.

So my dear reader it was then that I saw,

a little light peaked out from under its claw

No matter I thought and then said with a shout;

don’t ever come back

but do sort yourself out

discovery is made with the help of the Animal Kingdom and a joyful
celebration result. The Child is curious and Nature, as in real life, does
not disappoint.

“My Name Is Light” begins with a Child in the great outdoors who
notices something bright in their vision. The Child takes the opportunity to
interact with a feeling of “light.” The Animal Kingdom animates
this exciting, fun, and playful adventure. The Child will learn to ask
questions and see what fun adventures await when they engage actively in
communication. The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations
pair perfectly with their presentation.

The Child will learn that Nature has so many wonders to explore. These
wonders are available and ready for action once the Child actively engages

will experience a lighthearted and fun story that will ignite their own

Why not explore the author’s theory Childhood is a time of playful
fascination as well as learning? This fascination can be enhanced by
literature that allows for pretend conversations. It is in Early Childhood
that we learn how to connect and interact with others.

“My Name Is Light” offers a path to these connections that allows
for observation, self-reflection, and play. Play is so important at this age
and the Child who reads these books will be rewarded with the joy of
witnessing play at its best.
