Welcome to Holly's Journey!
Holly DiBella-McCarthy's 30+ years in education began in preschool teaching children with special education needs. Continuing as an elementary teacher inspired Holly to make learning fun while teaching pre-reading skills to students who benefited from repetition and a boost of confidence. As Director of Special Education, Holly made a difference for kids by supporting teachers, therapists, and parents. Teaching university students completed her Pre-K through college teaching career. A writer of non-fiction journal articles and books and now a successful Children's Picture Book author, Holly hopes her books continue to teach school success skills.
Holly's Passion: Raising Kindergarten Ready Kids
Holly's passions are education and advocacy. Her blog articles explore topics related to school readiness for school success. Her writings and resources support parents and teachers. Holly hopes to continue to make a difference for young children by sharing best practices to prepare for preschool, kindergarten and future school success.
Dilly Duck Picture Books Teach!
On the bank of a great big lake in a park called Wonder Wake, Dilly Duck sits all alone, so sad and bored on her own. There is just one thing to do. Find her friends, her flock, her crew!
DILLY DUCK PLAYS ALL DAY is a rhyming picture book written to expand pre-reading skills, math skills, and emotional vocabulary for children ages 2-6.
DILLY DUCK PLANS a PARADE, the second book in the series matches the Kindergarten curriculum teaching compassion for people with hidden disabilities, color words, and the 5 senses. When the ducks ask for help to find color from around the lake for their color parade, Dilly Duck convinces her beaver friend to join the crew. How will Billy Beaver be able to help when the only color he can see is brown?
