Hello My Happy People,
Sorry this is getting out a bit later than usual. Storms in our area of Germany are playing havoc wit hmy head. I am on day two of a migraine, but I will soldier on because today's guest is too good to miss!
I bring you my interview with the incredible children's book author and educational platform creator, Sarah Beth Goncarova (writing as S.B. Goncarova). Sarah has not only created a fun collection of books for young readers, she has built an entertainment business around her amazing Adventures with Abba Series.
Besides writing the books, Sarah is also the writer/producer of an animated web series and her companion read-aloud videos in which she also stars. The videos not only feature word for word reading of the books so children can follow along at home in their own text, but they also have text on the screen if they do not have a copy of the book.
The episodes all feature original music, sound effects, and Sarah shows off her talent for extremely engaging theatrical storytelling. With voice changes for different characters and exaggerated facial expressions, it is easy to be captivated with Sarah’s performances no matter what your age.The Adventures with Abba series follow the lives of So-So and Lina, two precious sisters who are at the center of the adventures they take with their lovable (and slightly wacky) aunt Abba, and her handsome (and perpetually grumpy) cat, Caruso.
The main cast of characters is supported by other fascinating family members who add both humorous interactions as well as providing examples of strength, resilience, and bring a strong sense of individuality to the character list. Go listen now to get the full story from the author and creator herself.
