Let's Go Backer and Backer!

How fun it is for friends to toss the red bouncy ball to each other! But have you ever wondered where that red bouncy ball came from? In Let's Go Backer and Backer: The Red Bouncy Ball, children are invited on a playful journey of discovery, tracing the ball's story step by step into the past. With each page, curiosity is sparked as young readers learn to think about the everyday objects around them in new ways.

This engaging series was inspired by the author's twin daughters, Anna and Leah, and their special "book fest" days spent reading together. Their endless questions about where things come from led to the joyful idea of going "Backer and Backer" to explore the origins of ordinary treasures.
