Heading Out! A Kid's Guide To Palm Springs, California - Paperback

Archaeological research has shown the Cahuilla people have lived and thrived in the Palm Springs area for the past 350-500 years. The Cahuilla name for the area was "Se-Khi," which means "boiling water." Some think the name Palm Springs originated from early Spanish explorers who called the area as "La Palma de la Mano de Dios," which means "The Palm of God's hand". Written by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, with photographs by John D. Weigand, this book lets kids glimpse a bit of what they can do when they go to this beautiful place, set way out in the desert. Once famous for being a get away destination for movie stars and the rich and famous, Palm Springs is now an affordable resort area where a kid can have some real fun! Enjoy this 'learn to read' book, and practice reading skills through word, repetition, word recognition and rhyme.
