About

I write edgy/contemporary novels, and am an author + artist + general non-conformist ;)

My first two books (EyeLeash: A Blog Novel, and 4:Play)are multiple-genre-crossing. I enjoy including psychological andemotional elements in my work, as I believe this adds a level of depthand authenticity to the story + characters.

+ Zodiac: Virgo sun, Pisces moon, Aries rising.

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

Reviews

“EXCELLENT work on your final project - one of the best I’ve seen…you are an excellent writer and I’ve really enjoyed having you in class. Your final grade on the project is 400/400 = A.”<br /><em>— Advertising professor’s comments, May 2010</em><br /><br />“Had my first YA novel with an agent at Trident Media Group last fall. She sent it to Harper Collins, and Penguin. Positive feedback, but no one bought…when I contacted my agent a couple months ago, she said she’s no longer with the agency…I never heard back. Your brilliant paper is helping me jump over the mental hurdle that is traditional publishing.”<br /><em>— email from a reader/writer, July 2010</em><br /><br />“The exact same thing is happening with film. You’re on the right track!”<br /><em>—Su-An Ng, Designer / Animator / Filmmaker (won the 2nd Place Legacy Award at the 2010 Vancouver Women in Film Festival)</em>
