Lydia the Lazy Ladybug - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Lydia the Lazy Ladybug is a creative and extraordinary creature. This is a story about Lydia and how being different can sometimes work to your advantage. Ladybugs are very busy! They have a lot of things to do, like eat other bugs, and lay lots of eggs, in a very short lifespan.

Lydia is a dreamer and she would rather watch the clouds go by and listen to sounds in the world around her instead of doing what other ladybugs expect her to do. Lydia spends most of her time alone in her imaginary world. Lydia wanders too far away one day and something happens. Eventually, she finds herself in the perfect environment with other ladybugs just like her. Lydia learns that there is a time to get your work done and a time to daydream.

Beautiful color photographs and fun filled facts about Ladybugs remind us that they are an important part of our eco-system and an excellent natural predator for aphids in your garden. Ladybugs like Lydia can often be purchased at your local nursery to release at home during the early spring.

Biografía del autor

Darcy Wheeler was born in rural Maine. Tragically separated from her family at a young age, Darcy was adopted by a loving couple, college professors who would relocate to Ann Arbor, Michigan some years later. Growing up as an only child, Darcy had an active imagination that included a few imaginary friends. Summers were spent with her parent's, camping and canoeing against the picturesque backdrop of the remote regions and waterways of both Maine and Michigan. In her thirty's she was blessed with the unbelievable opportunity to reunite with her sisters and their families as well as aunts and other members of her biological family. Such unusual and bittersweet experiences taught Darcy that each and every unique event on our life's journey turns and molds us into the people we are meant to become. Always a reminder, that it is not where we start, but where we finish that really matters. After a lifetime of traveling and living in many states from one coast to the other, Darcy now resides in Fort Worth, Texas with her husband, two awesome teenagers and several somewhat domesticated animals. Favorite childhood authors such as: Robert McCloskey, Beatrix Potter, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Seuss and Judy Bloom, further fueled her love of stories, especially happy endings and were the first books read to her own children. The creation of many of her colorful characters was inspired by both actual events and her children's flare for the dramatic. Merlin the Moose was a beloved stuffed animal; Morty the Monster came from a fear of "something" under the bed; Duncan the Dragon just arrived as a delightful idea; Lydia the Lazy Ladybug, a story of fun facts about these natural, organic predators for your garden; Melinda the Musical Mouse, a tool to help promote self confidence in one of her children; and Corky the Corkscrew Cow a tall tale that attempts to help one better understand how to acclimate to life in the southwest. Darcy writes to celebrate the many and often surprising gifts our loving God has given to us; in life, by our families, through our children and sometimes heartbreaking circumstances. "Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain". Anonymous
