About

I am a web developer and nature photographer. While photographing a rescued sea turtle, I was inspired to write a book about here. That was the spark that started The Tale of Eartha the Sea Turtle. I have several other stories currently in the works.

Description

<p>&quot;I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right.&quot; These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting &quot;To the Rescue&quot;, helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out &quot;not nice!&quot; Meet the children who form the Manner-Man team and find out how to join! Manner-Man incorporates messages and characters found within some of Cannon's earlier books - helping children learn how to cope with bullies and look within themselves for their inner superhero! This is the fifth rhyming children's book by this award-winning author whose other bestselling books include Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won a dozen awards for her four previous rhyming books and is also the author of six published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called &quot;a modern day Dr.Seuss&quot; - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

Story Behind The Book

After visiting the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach Florida, I made a new friend. A recently rescued young loggerhead sea turtle named Eartha. She loved having her picture taken and followed me in her tank, as I'd move around it. I visited her several times, and was there to witness her release back to the sea. She inspired me to write a book to help children realize the dangers of polluting our oceans, and how they can help to protect these beautiful sea turtles.

Reviews

&quot;Dan Bodenstein tells a fact-based story with a contemporary moral that inspires empathy and closes with a happy and hopeful ending. He aims at younger children and scores using the simple, brilliantly colored, yet skillfully anthropomorphic illustrations of Brian C. Krumm. Shouldn't the &quot;Gold Standard&quot; in pre-school children's books be bestowed on those a child need not read to understand? This little jewel of a book qualifies. Your children will love Eartha even if they don't know her name.&quot;
