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
If you’re an author, especially for fiction, your author platform is your critical pathway to reach readers. Authors who can build, maintain, and leverage their platforms will have a significant competitive advantage over those who cannot. Think of author platform as a multi-layered infrastructure that allows you to reach both existing and potential readers. Elements of this infrastructure emerge whenever you interact with social media followers, in all possible ways. It includes subscribers, blog fans, your Facebook Fan Page, LinkedIn marketing, etc. Platform encapsulates your celebrity. You must constantly leverage your platform into social media opportunities; to reach potential new fans, to get your message out. There are two primary factors that will drive sales of your book. The first is consumer awareness. The second is desire. Once a consumer is aware of your product or brand, they must desire it sufficiently to make a purchase. This book is remarkably simple. It's a short "how-to" manual for marketing your talent and celebrity. There are no miracles here. No pill you can take and it's over. Marketing your book(s) can be described as. "Difficult, often tedious" and "sometimes expensive." But it's not rocket science.
