Synopsis

Meet Forlorn Corn and join him on the adventure of his lifetime! Along the way you'll discover new friends: Zany Zucchini, Timid Tomato, Oblivious Onion, Considerate Carrot, and Boisterous Beet. These lovable vegetable characters star in a rhyming story that teaches new words in a way kids actually understand. With help from Literate Ladybug, young readers will expand their vocabulary while having fun!

Perfect for ages 4-8, Forlorn Corn makes learning advanced vocabulary words exciting and accessible. Each character's name introduces a new word, and the playful rhymes reinforce meaning through context - no flashcards required! A helpful glossary in the back defines additional vocabulary words, giving grown-ups and kids a launching pad for discussion. But every child's vocabulary journey is unique - we encourage you to follow your reader's curiosity and explore any words that spark questions!

Ideal for read-alouds, classroom libraries, and homeschool families looking for books that entertain AND educate. A must-have for any children's bookshelf!

About this title

About the Author

I'm Brandi Mays, a children's book author living in Southern California. After years as a busy mom, I'm now an empty nester with more time to pursue my creative passions - including writing books that make learning fun for little readers! When I'm not writing, you can find me spending time with my grandkids, knitting, crocheting, or sewing - all while being cheered on by my incredibly supportive husband of 30 years. Forlorn Corn is my debut picture book, and I'm already dreaming up more adventures for the garden gang!
