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>

I my estimation this collection is even more mature and moving than their previous work. <br /><br />Vivid images in this collection of poems distill the lives of the women who wrote them. They speak to all the stages of life and our roles as women reminding us how far we've come and how much we have to be grateful for. They celebrate aging and our roles as wives, mothers and lovers. Whatever your age these poems will speak to you of times to look forward to or to remember. These are not poems to read once. They will stay with you forever. <br /><br />If you enjoy poetry, I highly recommend this collection.
