Description

This coloring book version of the best-selling “whine-stopper” children’s story was designed for kids to enjoy reading the rhyming, as well as being able to illustrate their own version of Peter’s nocturnal adventure into the woods. Peter’s mother warns him that if he doesn’t stop whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. His adventure continues as he later hops into the woods and finds lots of frightening Whimper-Whineymen! He discovers that the Whimper-Whineys are very ill-mannered and rude, and that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineland. He decides his mother was right. If only he can get back home! According to a recent critique, “I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child! ... Parents everywhere applaud you!”

Story Behind The Book

In the late summer afternoons, I would ride over to the marina where the big boats were docked. The gangways were always locked. I stood behind the gate staring at the yachts, imagining what it would be like to stand at the wheel, to back out of the slip, head up the channel, turn south, and keep going. Even then I didn’t want to be the boy behind the gate. I wanted to be the one at the helm calling, “Cast off the bow, we’re headed to sea.” Thirty years later it dawned on me: we were docked right where I used to stand behind the locked gates looking at the big boats. Only there was one difference—the boy behind the gate—was now standing at the helm.

A riveting tale of determination, overcoming challenges and, ultimately, finding inner joy. A must-read for anyone who wants to be inspired to live their dreams. You won't be able to put it down. Greg Hicks, Bestselling Co-Author of How We Choose to Be Happy What a delightful read. Larry Jacobson's lively prose and vivid descriptions manage to convey not only his sailing story and the amazing adventures of his circumnavigation but also lets us into his heart in a way that few writers achieve. The account of his inner journey, while he learned to overcome his doubts and achieve "life lived to the fullest," is truly inspiring. Even if I had never sailed on a boat in my life, I would still have found it difficult to put down this charming memoir. Nancy Knudsen, Cruising Editor, Sail-World Larry Jacobson has lived life on the edge and, as a result, made his dreams come true. In this amazing, riveting book, he shares his great adventure sailing around the world. Every page I felt his fears and the storms and was right there with him on that boat. This book is about honesty, fearlessness, and having the courage to make your dreams come true David Mixner, Bestselling Author
