About
I’m the kid with the vivid imagination and a whole slew of very interesting and unique made-up friends, lol. As I grew into a hopeless romantic, I was involved in some rather exciting and interesting jobs and volunteer work: backstage lighting designer, NYC Auxiliary Police, wannabe actress, under- cover retail investigation, NYS EMT – and then I became a writer. So I had a lot of good background to draw from and when I needed, I let my imagination run wild (again). Fortunately I have a very patient family who understands that being a fiction writer is… well, is a special case.
I also am a freelance writer with several non-fiction articles and human interest stories that have been published in regional and national newspapers and magazines. I write under the name Chelle Cordero here too. Working out of a home office is terrific because I don’t even have to get out of my jammies to come to work!
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
How much would you be willing to give up for love? That was the random question that inspired me to write about Ben and Samantha and their young, unfulfilled love. Reunited years later, a lot has changed.

When the suspense continued to build to an almost breaking point, it made this good story that much better.<strong><em>"<br /><br /><a>Long & Short Reviews<br /></a></em><span class="UIStory_Message">"The very focused plot keeps us madly turning the pages, right to the very end"</span></strong>
