Erica's Echo

2nd January: What Shall We Do Today?

Join Imani, Tommy, and Maya on a Magical New Year Adventure That Celebrates Goals, Heritage, and the Power of Imagination!
When Maya discovers her great-great-grandmother's mysterious diary, the three friends never expect their ancestor Erica to appear on their front steps—ready to take them on the adventure of a lifetime!
In Erica's Echo, the latest installment in the beloved "What Shall We Do Today?" series, readers ages 6-9 will embark on an unforgettable journey through magical realms where:

• Science fiction spaceships made of Swiss cheese soar through the stars
• Quiet sanctuaries teach the power of introversion and thoughtful reflection
• Talking animals need protection on perilous bridge crossings
• Enchanted mirrors reveal family connections across generations
• Magical buffets serve up choices, dreams, and delicious possibilities

Perfect for young readers who love:

• Magic and fantasy adventures
• Stories about friendship and teamwork
• Learning about family history and heritage
• Character-driven narratives with diverse protagonists
• Chapter books that build reading confidence

Educational Themes Woven Throughout:

• Goal-setting and motivation for the new year
• Appreciating different personality types (introverts and extroverts)
• The importance of creativity and imagination
• Responsibility and protecting those who depend on us
• Family heritage and ancestry
• Testing new ideas with confidence
• Making thoughtful choices

What Parents and Teachers Love: ✓ Age-appropriate content for independent readers ages 6-9 ✓ Diverse, relatable characters with distinct personalities ✓ 8 engaging chapters perfect for bedtime reading or classroom read-alouds ✓ Approximately 3,000 words—ideal length for developing readers ✓ Positive messages about self-discovery and personal growth ✓ No scary content—adventure without fear ✓ Discussion questions naturally embedded in the story ✓ Encourages children to think about their own goals and dreams

Why This Series Stands Out: With over 280 books in the "What Shall We Do Today?" series, children return again and again to join Imani, Tommy, and Maya on their magical adventures. Each story combines:

• Fast-paced action that keeps young readers engaged
• Rich vocabulary that builds language skills
• Cultural awareness and respect for diversity
• Problem-solving challenges that encourage critical thinking
• Vivid sensory details that spark imagination
