Created especially for early readers, the author has taken great care in crafting the structure and style of the stories. The language, letter patterns, progressions of word structures, and sound sequences have all been shaped to build children's confidence, gradually leading to more disciplined work later in the book. In addition to grading the stories according to these principles, the stories involve repetition, rhyming devices, and the use of common words that form the foundation of "sight vocabulary."
The visual element has also been considered in the layout, with large typeface and small paragraphs, which become more condensed as reading ability becomes stronger.

Brian Gold
Brian started life as the child of fruit farmers in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. At the age of six the family relocated to Orillia, Ontario. Upon graduation from law school Brian and his wife Susan settled in Ottawa, where they raised a family (Rachel Gold and Cara Gold) and lived fulfilling personal and professional lives. In semi-retirement he started writing poetry at the family lake house near Perth, Ontario. Early in the pandemic, he enrolled in a poetry workshop at Carleton University which led to Brian and two other poets sharing their poetry in regular online meetings. Many of the poems in this collection were first presented in those sessions.
