| Publisher Description: What do you have on your bookshelf? Well, books, you would say of course. Little Gabriella and her brother Sam also have books on the bookshelf of their bedroom. Lots and lots of books with big, bright pictures and wonderful stories. But that's not all. Gabriella and Sam have something or rather someone else on their bookshelf. They have trolls - actual, real trolls, who are happy, colourful and very noisy. They are called Pinky, Grey, Glitter Boy and Biggie. They've made little homes for themselves inside the bookends. During the day the trolls stay inside their homes. They don't like the sunlight that much. Their favourite time of day is the night-time. When Gabriella's and Sam's mum tucks them into their beds and picks a book for a bedtime story, the trolls peek from inside their homes and get ready for an adventure. Pinky, Grey, Glitter Boy and Biggie love to race through the pages of the books as the kids' mum flips through them. Once Gabriella's and Sam's reads the name of the story, Pinky, Grey, Glitter Boy and Biggie prepare for a race. And as she turns the pages, the trolls jump from one page to another, from one picture to another, competing over who is going to finish the book first. Join Pinky, Grey, Glitter Boy and Biggie on their race through 'Yum-Yum, A Chocolate World' and find out who wins the race 'The Sweet Race' is part of the 'Kids' Book Farm' series, which helps children to become published authors and illustrators by including them in the most extraordinary process of creating books. 'The Sweet Race' was written by Gabriella Galkin, an 8-year old author from USA. Way before writing her first book, from a very young age, Gabriella always asked adults to read to her and was the most grateful listener. When she began to read by herself, she started reading to her younger brother Sam. And when there were no books around, Gabriella made the stories up. 'The Sweet Race' is one of her stories. Gabriella lives in Miami, Florida, right near the beach so she learned to swim and walk at the same time. Gabriella likes to play chess, to draw, and to play the piano. |
