From the Author
Some reviews on Amazon for 'I See Things From Where I Am'
- The concept of this book is fantastic. It conveys differing perspectives at first in a very literal way and then in more abstract ways. It shows how it’s okay to have different opinions. The book shows it through a father and son but it could apply to any relationship, even among friends. This is a great life lesson for kids. I really liked how the author incorporated antonyms into the verses.
- Educational picture book teaching the concept of opposites. There is humor in the book.
- Fun rhyming story - great for reading out loud!
