About
"You know I'm a dreamer, with a heart of gold. I had to run away high, so I didn't come back..." Oh wait a minute, that's a Motley Crue song. I'm a 40 year old guy who thought life ended at 30, but then realized it's just beginning. So know I'm just enjoying life as best I can and living off what I've learned, while still learning everyday.
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.

Story Behind The Book
Well, growing up during the eighties there was this little known scandle called the Contra affair. I was sixteen at the time and thought wouldn't it be great to live under the stars in the Honduran jungle and find a girl and a good cause to support. Then when I turned thirty (and homeless at times) I realized living under the stars sucked, I'll never get the girl, and any cause I join I'll just screw up and have a bigger problem to fix- just like everything else in my life! Thus the phrase "What plan ever goes accordingly?"
