Children and adults can learn to play together in new extraordinary ways with a typical object that most households already have with the help of Lori Cannella's new children's book, "Isabella Cannella and the Great Big Rainbow Ball" (published by AuthorHouse).

"Most children's books might teach in one area or another," Cannella says. "I wanted to show adults how to use an ordinary ball to teach a child reading, math, writing, science, social skills and so much more."

Taking a holistic approach to developmental education, "Isabella Cannella and the Great Big Rainbow Ball" introduces readers to Isabella, a young girl who not only enjoys the typical play seen with a large ball, but who begins to explore many different ways she can play, expanding her developmental skills. The exercises Isabella shares in the book can help children learn language, literacy, mathematics, arts, social and motor skills.

"How many developmental skills can young children learn using technology that has overtaken our society?" Cannella asks. "Not many! However, using this book as a guide, parents can show children and encourage them to look past the technology and rediscover childhood through their play with a ball."
