Join Carole P. Roman on a trip to the Northern Hemisphere and learn about Norway- The Land Of the Midnight Sun. In this exciting series, children are able to read about the many things we share in this great, big world of ours. If You Were Me and Lived in...Norway describes many things that make that country unique and fun. Readers will be able to learn about the capital, common names, a beloved holiday, as well as favorite food and other fun facts. This book is an excellent introduction for those beginners who want to learn about the many thrilling places and great people who share our planet.
The seventeen page book covers a large wealth of practical information. Ms. Roman covers Norway’s geographical location, sites, and popular locations. One such location is the Kirkenes Snowhotel. I wanna go! Ms. Roman also covers popular female and male names and what children in Norway call their parents. Culturally, the author gives examples of popular foods, a holiday, and outdoor activities (skiing). It was pretty fun to learn what a smorbord was… even if it involved shrimp.
At $2 bucks for the Kindle version, this is a great book for any child or family wanting to learn about various cultures. The easy to understand blurbs and illustrations are fun for any age. To help with the foreign vocabulary featured in the book, there is even a pronunciation guide in the back of the book.
Motivated by her love of yoga, Roman has written a book that not only teaches four poses, but shows how easy and accessible yoga can be.
Her new non fiction series, “If You Were Me and Lived in…” combines her teaching past with her love of exploration and interest in the world around us. The debut book in the series, “If You Were Me and Lived in…Mexico” has won the Pinnacle Award for Best in Children’s Non Fiction 2012. France, South Korea, and Norway. They will be followed with Kenya, Turkey, India, and Australia. She plans to do Portugal, Greece, and Argentina next year.
Writing for children has opened up a whole second act for her. While she is still working in her family business, this has enabled her to share her sense of humor as well as love for history and culture with the audience she adores. Roman lives on Long Island with her husband and near her children.
