Erik Shein

Mickey and I both.. are proud to be a part of “The Forgotten Ornament”...We highly recommend this wonderful book written by Erik Daniel Shein. A beautiful Christmas book, bringing adorable animals to life. One broken little ornament, is sadly neglected....then mended and placed in a prominent position, high on the Christmas tree and loved just as much as the newer ornaments. This amazing book teaches children about responsibility.. Mickey and Jan Rooney

2017 Graded by Fountas & Pinnell at a 6th grade reading level Thunder is a young pygmy forest elephant, forced into an incredible journey when he is separated from his mother by poachers. The characters of our story are broad and diverse, yet together strong and capable. The witty banter entertains, while the strength of heart unites and uplifts. It brings a clear focus of our need for each other, and the realities of a world contrary to it. It's our world, and what happens to it and in it, affects us all. Delightful tales like this awaken, educate, and bring hope to humanity Reviewer: Darleen Wohlfeil Story Monster Magazine
