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.

Story Behind The Book

On Shadow Beach is the second book in my ongoing Angel's Bay Series which began last summer with Suddenly One Summer. In Shelter Cove, the third book, will be out next month. On Shadow Beach is a romantic novel filled with emotional, poignant and interesting relationships and a little light suspense. It takes place in the fictional town of Angel's Bay which has a rich and fascinating history. The town was borne from a Gold Rush shipwreck in the 1850's, the survivors making their way to the protected bay. They created a story quilt in honor of the twenty-four survivors, and that quilt and the shipwreck provide links to current day stories. If you love romance, quilting, angels, suspense, stories about love and family, this is the book for you!
