Overview

Carter Carver is a young boy who is good at a lot of things, but the concept of colors has him stumped. While his classmates recognize colors by sight, Carter has mastered guessing and using clues, hints, and memorized associations. His way works for him, but he feels that his classmates will eventually discover that he is only guessing. When they do, he is certain that they will tease and laugh at him. So, even though Carter loves school and his teacher, he decides that there is only one way to avoid the inevitable humiliation. He has to convince his mother to allow him to stay home and learn from there. Fortunately, his mother comes up with a better idea. This inspirational, day-in-the-life, illustrated children's book, written in verse, can be enjoyed by any age. But it is perfect for young people between the ages of 4 and 9.

Author Information

"Wife, mother, and former IT Solutions Specialist and Consultant, Rosilyn Seay believes that children's stories should mean something or reflect something in the life of the children who experience the stories-without weighing them down. They should spark the imagination of the children who hear or read them. They should also reflect positive values (without being preachy), boundaries (every child needs and wants them), and relatable life experiences. An avaricious reader, she started writing her own short stories, as a hobby, around the age of twelve. Later, as her sons were growing up, she realized that some of their rich trials and adventures should be preserved. So, she resumed her hobby, primarily for the benefit of her young audience. Recently, she decided to publish some of the stories she created over the years. Using her IT skills to illustrate her books, she now has published three children's picture books (""The Girl Who Loved Pots"", ""Ardie's Big Secret"", and ""Colors Carter Carver's Way""). Her one adult novel, ""Just My Luck"", a gritty urban tale, was a collaborative effort with her sister, Lelia Coles, who died before the project could be completed."
