About The Book: This is a book for five to nine year-olds. It addresses their fears and
helps them see how to overcome them. And it manages to help children by
using rhyme; it is somewhat like an illustrated poem for children. As one
teacher who read a manuscript of the work says: " The rhythm and rhyme give
it a familiar "Dr. Seuss" feeling. It treats an important issue for children
in a way that is appropriate for children and easy for them to understand.
Outstanding!"
Ms. Brown continues:
It makes an important point without sounding too preachy or teachy, which
isn't always easy to do...It is good for prediction, too. I found myself
wondering what the big lump was going to turn out to be ( I thought it was
fear, which I guess was close). I will see if my kids will guess it. I think
it will also lend itself well to further discussion "lumps" each of us carries around with us?

The reaction from her students?
"It was really cute; I liked it."
Kaylee, age 8
"The book is excellent."
Jalen, age 9
"I think she will become a really good author."
John, age 8
Now, John is a good predictor of success. It just did not know it. The
author has written several works; however, it is this one that she is
focusing mainly for children to help them cope with a real issue for
children.
