Shrinking Sam

After receiving my free book from Barefoot Books, I instantly became hooked.  I get drawn in to each and every story I read.  They are unlike any other children’s books I have ever read or saw before.  The front covers with all the colors and characters are mesmerizing.

Knowing this though, my immediate thought when seeing the title “Shrinking Sam” should not have been of the other books and movies about shrinking kids.  You know the ones. The innocence of the cover picture alone should not have let my mind go there.  Yes, I am ashamed to admit it, but it did.

That thought, however, quickly vanished a few pages in.  Sam, a middle child, was not shrunk by any machine or science experiment.  He was shrunk and washed down the drain by his own thoughts. Thoughts of being ignored.  But is he and has he disappeared completely?

“Shrinking Sam” is a simple story with a life lesson. Children along with adults will easily relate to Sam and his new friend Izzy when they don’t get the attention they want or crave. The ending will make them realize how big and important they really are. 

I learned an additional lesson from Sam.  Never ever ignore a title of a Barefoot Book because the story is much bigger on the pages inside.

With A Little Help From My Friends

I am really excited to announce that I recently signed with a reputable self-publishing company to publish one of my personally written children’s book.  A book needing to be read sooner rather than later and shares a very important message that everyone will be able to relate to.

Loving and nurturing a child with effects of an event that occurs more often that one would normally think, I was inspired and soon came to the realization “Everyone has a challenge whether seen or unseen.  But it’s believing…” sorry you’ll have to wait for the finished product.  I can’t give the ending away just yet!

But with a little help from my friends, you can help me reveal the ending sooner rather than a year or so later and continue to promote the love of reading and books with a child.   

The proceeds earned from each sale of Barefoot Books (the colorful, imaginative, educational, and multicultural books I market) will go directly to the production of my book and you’ll be entered to receive a complimentary copy upon completion.

There are four ways you can help:

1. Shop my marketplace at  http://tinyurl.com/sdmbbshop .
2. Purchase direct from my table at local events.
3. Host an online or in house party.
4. Place an individual order direct with me.

Can I get a little help from my friends, friends of a friend, anyone?
