<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.

Story Behind The Book
This was a time in my life where I seemingly felt adrift, between the person I was and where I was going. All I knew at the time was I wanted not just to follow my heart. I wanted to rip it inside and out. I went on a journey that changed my life and set me on a direction to do and create more with my life. It took a lot of faith, courage, and love.
I wrote the work to capture moments, remember the wonderful people I encountered along the way, and as a testament to follow your heart.
I stayed with a lovely woman during my time in Paris who also shares her story in her own words. Translation at times was difficult, but we made it through the journey together. I will never forget her and her large heart.
I also want to bring attention to the wonderful artist who created the cover for me, Xcathedra. An incredible talent I had written an article on for Chic Today. The right people came together to help me with the work on this project, which on the surface may just appear about the superficial things of life, but deep down, the yearning to love and what that can mean.
