Now Introducing: Aziz the elphant from "Elephant Symphony" The Newest E Book Release from Ladybee Publishing

Somewhere in Africa, lives a little elephant named Azizi and he's about to go on quite the adventure and so can you with my newest book, Elephant Symphony from Ladybee Publishing as part of their Call Of The Wild Series.

Come meet Azizi

Azizi is an African elephant who is part of a few animals that are the largest in the world. Since Azizi is an African elephant, he is the largest of the elephant species in the world. He is also part of a species that's numbers are dwindling. Sadly African elephants are being hunted and because of that they are on the Endangered Species list. They still are threatened by poachers and humans who are encroaching on their lands. 

Azizi spends his days using his trunk to eat plants, twigs, berries, and to drink water. He also gives himself mud baths to protect his sensitive skin. There's no SPF for elephants. Azizi and other elephant calves are between 170-250 pounds. That is a BIG baby. Azizi will grow up to be about 350 pounds as an adult. An elephant calf's herd treats calves as one of the family. Each elephant looks out for and helps the calves of the herd. Everyone is involved with raising the calf. Elephants are incredibly social with each other. They migrate to find water holes and food together and they even "nest" down at night and sleep together. 

Elephant Symphony

This book is about a little elephant named Azizi who finds out why his kind are dwindling. Azizi hears the stories of celestial elephants and how the herds are hunted. Then he gets a visit from a very special elephant that shows Azizi the answers he needs to know and how not all humans are bad.

Elephant Symphony is a great E-book for ages five through 10 years old.

Every Kid Has Their Day, has yours?

When I began writing "Every Kid Has Their Day", I wanted to do nothing more than create something that empowered young children. Every child deserves to be empowered and to reach their potential. We don't always know what future they will choose for themselves whether it's being a doctor, a teacher, a musician, an athlete, or perhaps the next president. However, the events that occur during their childhood do have an effect on what paths they choose. I want every child to know that we all get scared sometimes. We all have that moment in a new place where monsters may live and the school lunch could be something more alien than food. We all have days where we just wake up on the wrong side of the bed or we learn in a total different way than everyone else. Being bullied is never fun and sometimes all a child needs to know is that it does get better and they're not alone. Those are the very reasons I wrote "Every Kid Has Their Day" and I hope that all you parents and child care givers will read it to your children. Most children in public schools are doing more and more with Ipads and the very best things we can do as parents and educators can be to give them books they can read that will empower them and to give fuel to their imaginations. Lady Bee Publishing has many great titles for children that can be easily uploaded to their Ipads and Kindles.

The No Good Very Bad Day of a Red Headed Step Child

    We have all had bad days. We have all had days when we just wanted to pull the covers over our heads and pretend that the morning sun was not blasting through the bedroom window.

    Kids are not immune to waking up on the wrong side of the bed. I can remember one such day out of many when I just woke up crankier than ever. I stumbled out of bed and the first thing that happened was I banged my toe on the door jamb. OUUUCH! Then I found out that my sister, Kim, had eaten the last of the cereal. It didn't stop there, school just seemed to be horrible too. I had to miss recess.

       Has your son or daughter ever woke up on the wrong side of the bed? I bet they have. It was because all kids sooner or later have one of those days that I wrote, "The Complaining Day". This short story can be found in my book, "Every Kid Has Their Day".


            This four story collection has four stories that touch on everything from ADHD, bullying, scary first days, and those days when everything just seems to go wrong. This book is available on E-Book format so that it can be easily downloaded onto your child's tablet, I-Pad, and E-Reader.

Once Upon A Child

         

                Christmas is over and most kids are already heading back to school from their holiday breaks. I know my little boy was hoping Christmas vacation would last forever. Me, I was ready for this day about three days after Christmas. The New Year has begun and that means a lot of new books are out already. Have you thought about what you want to upload your child's virtual book shelves with? Well have no fear, I have some great books to get your children back into reading and to keep their imaginations going.

Goodnight Already is great for that older brother or sister who just wants to go to sleep but has a younger sibling who is a perpetual night owl. This book has the cutest pictures and the story is both heartwarming and tells a very sweet story. It's a great book to read with your preschooler through third grade age child. 

Thanks to movies like Corpse Bride, Franken Weenie, and The Book of Life, the Pro-Zombie phenomena has become huge with all children. What happens when two Zombies fall in love? They have a baby who is undead that's what. This book is the sequel to the much loved Zombie in Love. It's funny, a little gross, and anything but dead. This is a great book to laugh over with your child and it's in most E-book formats. Be sure to add Zombie in Love 2 +1.

I have written four short stories that will make children feel good about themselves no matter if they have something like ADHD, tackling their first day of school in a new place, having a bad day, or dealing with bullies. In each of the four stories there is laughter along with a heartwarming empowering message. 

Halloween just isn't for October! Pumpkinstein is an illustrated story of how a green little alien comes to Earth on a night when he can blend in but it causes quite the stir and misadventures. 

Have an older child that may not be content with picture books? Ladybee Publishing has the entire beginning series of the Alex and the Wolpertinger adventure series by Koos Verkaik. What is a Wolpertinger? A fascinating creature that your child will love reading about.

Why E-Books Make Great Presents For The Holidays

   It's 2014, and the age of children's primary use of traditional books for learning is declining. It's all about E-Learning and more and more schools are incorporating I-Pads, Netbooks, and Tablets into the curriculum. Kindergartners are beginning to be integrated into having to learn to use a hand held electronic for learning. Good Morning America has even listed Tablets, Amazon Fires, I-Pads, etc. as the top gifts children are wanting for Christmas. 



      Most kids love their Tablets and I-Pads and there's nothing really wrong with it but instead of letting them surf the net (which is not always safe) or downloading tons of games from the App Store, why not load your child's devices with books? Books are great gift ideas and essentials to have for your child if you are going to let them use something like an electronic device. Ladybee Publishing http://www.ladybeepublishing.ca/ has several titles that appeal to most age ranges. Books like my own, Every Kid Has Their Day and What Will Happen If I Tell by Cynthia MacGregor are stories that will empower children and give them life lessons. Ladybee also has Baymo by Seth C.Kadish, Camile Miles Private Eye by Terry Coffey, Pumpkinstein by Clark Mitchell, and the highly adventurous and hilarious Alex and the Wolpertinger by Koos Verkaik which was an Epic E-Books Awards Finalist.

Me and My ADHD The Labor of Love

How many of you out there have a child that has either ADD or ADHD? For those of you that do, you know how quickly Wonderland can be turned upside down, shaken, and then stirred. For the ones who don't; it can be hard for them to really understand what you and your child (children) go through on a daily basis. I know for me, it's not been easy at all.




       Back in the day when I first started hearing about ADD/ADHD, I was in high school taking Early Childhood Education classes for college credits. I really just shrugged and had all these new age ideas that went against my Annie Sullivan approach to child learning. I wanted to seek out a career in teaching and be a cross between Annie Sullivan meets Avonlea's Anne Shirley. I figured that ADD/ADHD was just something parents labeled their child with if their kid happened to be overly hyper and full of endless energy. I had been around countless children. I was the oldest of three siblings, often took care of children in the church nursery, and had baby sat for virtually everyone. I had been exposed to good children, bad ones, ill tempered, pranksters, and ones that were so introverted they hid behind my legs most of the time. Nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING prepared me for my son Justin.




             Justin wasn't my first child and there were almost ten years between him and Olivia. I thought surly at 30, I had this whole mother thing down pat. I knew what the difference was between just a random runny nose and a full blown cold. I knew what to look for when it came to ear infections and when it was time to make an appointment with the ENT doctor. I had learned the various ways of camouflaging vegetables for the pickiest of kids (namely mine) on the entire planet. I had all the stories down pat, finger songs, latest data in potty training, and manners. All the bumps in the road and discovery with the first child had paved the way for my second.  That was the thought at least; the false sense of hope. When Justin was two, the meltdowns and torrential tantrums began. When he started school after two years of Special Needs preschool, Justin had issues sitting still, he had terrible sleeping problems which he still has, and the tantrums were bad. Finally towards the start of his second semester, I got out of denial and gave in enough to have him tested for Autism, ADD/ADHD, or some other behavioral learning disability. I didn't want to admit that ADHD/ADD was real. I didn't want to believe that I couldn't help my child overcome his problems. I had to accept that I was in denial and it was causing my son to suffer. We all were suffering.




                  When my son was placed in home bound in his 2nd grade year of school, he asked me once, "Why do I have ADHD?" My heart broke. I told him it wasn't a bad thing. It just meant that his brain just worked differently. I began researching everything I could about ADHD. Sadly our local library had few books for young readers about ADD/ADHD. One morning while my son was in tutoring, I wrote Me and My ADHD. It was published with three other stories designed to empower kids and build their confidence.
