Say Cheese Author Read-Along

See the world through a new lens!

Children are amazingly adept at technology, and one of the things they love most is grabbing a phone and taking pictures—of everything!

Parents and children alike will identify with Sammy's love of pointing and clicking to capture the world around him. Perfect for precocious kids who want to capture their own view of the world!

Nostalgic

Kids are always curious about the technology their parents grew up with and love discovering and learning about  "found items" from their parents' past. Sammy’s fascination with his “found” digital camera is sure to ring true with children who have turned their own found items into beloved treasures.

Perfect for Mother's Day!

All moms know what it’s like to be the ones behind the scenes: making lunch, folding laundry, and ensuring that everything is perfect for their little ones. A story of the bond between a mother and her son, Say Cheese celebrates the not-so-unseen role moms play in their children’s lives. Perfect to read on Mother's Day, or any time you want to celebrate that parent-child bond!

Readers' Favorite Gives Say Cheese 5 Stars!

"Say Cheese! celebrates the joy of encouraging young children to follow their interests. Brooke Vitale has done a great job relating a simple story but one that will be instantly recognizable to parents of young children. Kids are often intrigued by objects which adults dismiss as useless. I loved the way Sammy's mom gives him the freedom to explore an item that seems fresh and new to him. Many kids may be unfamiliar with an old point-and-shoot camera and may ask their parents or grandparents if they have a camera like this lying around for them to use. The illustrations by GamePak Studio showcase the many emotions that Sammy feels as he goes through his day. They are also filled with lots of fun details to explore. This book will encourage parents and kids to delve into drawers and closets looking for forgotten treasures." —Kristine Zimmerman, Readers' Favorite

Adorable!

Brooke came to my son’s preschool for an Author Visit, and we were delighted to be able to buy a signed copy of her book, “Say Cheese!”. The plot is very relatable, since my son likes to play with my very old iPhone. Thank you, Brooke, for sharing your love of reading and writing with Stamford Public Schools!
