Description
<p>"I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right." 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 "To the Rescue", helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out "not nice!" 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 "a modern day Dr.Seuss" - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>
Story Behind The Book
I've completed more than a dozen novels and I've helped other novelists find their way. I noticed time and time again that a lot of them were making the job of writing a lot harder for themselves than it needed to be - even experienced authors.
For instance, many writers paint themselves into a corner because they are tackling the wrong problem at the wrong time. They get blocked because the critical parts of their brain are inhibiting their creativity. Or their overactive imagination is preventing them seeing a straightforward solution. Or they need to step back and see the whole structure instead of worrying about the detail.
Over the years I've developed a method that that helps to make the whole writing process a lot more creative and fun. It draws on techniques from Hollywood scriptwriting, improvisational drama, sports psychology and project management - because experts in these fields have already solved some of the problems that novel-writers encounter. And not only will it help you finish the novel, it will help you write a book that is properly planned and polished - and more likely to succeed in today's market.
