Little e is sure he could be a hero-he even has the cape to prove it! But at school, he is so quiet, he just doesn't stand out. That is, until one day when Little e doesn't show up to class. The other letters don't even notice he's gone at first, but when c, a, and k try to form a word for dessert, they realize that no matter what they do, they can't make it work. The whole class is in an uproar! Without their silent friend, what are they going to do? Will Little e finally get his chance to come to the rescue?With adorable illustrations, helpful examples, and a cute classroom setting, The Mighty Silent e teaches spelling and vowel sounds in a new, exciting way that is sure to engage and successfully teach even the most stubborn reader. And its message about how every child's identity and diversity is valued through the clever story will encourage children to celebrate their unique contribution.

About the Author
Kimberlee Gard spent most of her childhood running from books instead of reading them, as a learning disorder held her back until she was taught the tools to overcome her dyslexia. This sparked Kimberlee's aspiration to write books for children that would bring about the same love of reading she eventually found and encourage even the most reluctant and struggling reader. Sandie is an illustrator living in Rancho Cucamonga, California. She graduated with a BA in Studio Art from Cal State University-Fullerton in 2010. Wearer of many hats, Sandie is a freelance illustrator, wife, and mom to two inspirational souls. When she is not drawing, you can find her playing Legos with her kids or sipping coffee with her husband.

Reviews
