This is such a sweet touching book that gives in a unique way the childhood summer memories spent in grandma's house through terms and use of colors. So easy to read. The book can be found in different languages and bilingual versions like Greek, English, Spanish, Italian. While I was reading it (and having a background as an Italian language teacher for foreigners), I was thinking how useful this book would be as a resource in teaching Italian as L2 for a beginners level, for teaching the past tenses like passato prossimo, imperfetto, passato remoto etc or useful vocabulary like the colors, or use it as inspiration for an exercise like 'write about your summer'. We love this book really well written." - Christina Skotadi "I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet trip down memory lane to Happiness Street. Absolutely loved how the memories are described in terms of colors. Sometimes as a child these are the things you carry with you. The vivid colors of your mother's bathing suit. The bright green of your cat's eyes. Beautiful. The illustrations are soothing and well done and the narrator's voice in my head calming as I read along ( Bob Ross style ). Short and sweet. I'd definitely recommend as a nap or bedtime read to your little one." - 5-star Amazon.com review "You will be left thinking now if I could just pop into the picture like Mary Poppins and Bert did with his chalk drawings, it would make for a wonderful adventure. I really want to explore all these places! A beautifully woven story which leaves much for your imagination to discover. The possibilities are endless! We are exploring languages so we chose a bilingual option and also beginning to learn a little Greek. We cannot wait to explore this story with our Theia Anna!" - 5-star Amazon.com.au review "A book that soothes the soul, loved it! This book was filled with such lovely imagery and prose, I found it soothing to read from start to finish. It reminded me of another that we once had with its pages filled with famous classical paintings . I find books like these to be a wonderful change of pace, almost like taking a stroll through a museum with your child . In this book, there is actually a story that goes with the paintings, but you can take your time & gaze at the art together and discuss how the art makes you feel. Why did the artist use these colors? What mood does this painting conjure for you? Th
