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.

Story Behind The Book
The "I See God' books that I've written were based on real life experiences I have had and how God showed me so much about my life through every single circumstance. He is so real. I believe He wants us to see just how real He is. Whether it's a trial, or a good day, or a moment when we need to make an important decision, He wants us to see that He is there to help us through whatever it is.
Reviews
"Shirley Kiger Connolly writes openly and honestly, tugging at your heartstrings while imparting God's wisdom." ~ Melanie Dickerson, Author, ACFW Book Club Coordinator.<br /><br />"Shirley Connolly has a handle on God-things. Shining through her poignant words of wisdom is evidence of a true relationship with the father-not simply a knowledge of Him, but a communication with Him. Each of the brief spiritual essays contained in this book is a little bite of heavenly manna. Say grace, and dive in. You'll savor this spiritually delicious feast!" ~ Delia Latham, Multi-published Author.
