About
The son of Sicilian immigrants, I've lived in Brooklyn all my life except for the time I spent at Western Michigan University, from which I graduated in 1971. I've had 49 short stories published in small press magazines. I contribute articles to buzzle.com. I have three books in print, novels Close to the Edge, and Adjustments, and short story collection, A Hitch in Twilight, 20 Tales of Warped Imagination. I sell my books on the streets of Brooklyn.
Description
<p>What if you treated others the way you'd like to be treated? What if everyone did that? What kind of world could there be? Robert and Kait decide to look for the golden ruler that their Mom has told them about, only to find out that she meant RULE instead of ruler. What is this "Golden Rule" and what does it mean? Join in the children's quest to discover how to follow the Golden Rule and share it with others, as you meet many classroom friends from the author's previous books. This is the eighth rhyming children's book by award-winning author Sherrill S. Cannon, whose other bestselling books include Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!, My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won thirty-six awards for her previous rhyming books and is also the author of seven published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called "an absolute master of rhyming" by Mother Daughter Book Reviews and "a modern day Dr. Seuss" by GMTA Review. She lives in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Now retired, she travels the country with her husband in an RV, going from coast to coast to visit their children and grandchildren, and sharing her books along the way.

I read a book this weekend by fellow Brooklynite Vic Fortezza, and I
was moved to the extent that I had to write this review. I'm not going
to get into specifics, but believe me, this book reads as a deeply
personal recollection and almost painfully honest self-analysis of the
storyteller's psyche. I write songs as a hobby, and even in that
medium, I doubt that I could ever hang everything out there for people
to "see" the way that this author does (in his very first book!)--But
therein lies the fascination...almost to the point of being
spellbinding. I'm now in the process of looking into Mr. Fortezza's
shorter literary endeavors, and I'll be on the lookout for his next
full-length title. Please do read this!
