Tummy McCrum's Space Adventure

This book began when my 7th grade son came home, sat down at the kitchen table, began to cry and said, "Why can't I be myself. Why do I have to be mean?" Growing up in an impoverished neighborhood didn't always make that an easy answer. One of the most difficult things to learn in life is to love yourself - fully and unconditionally. This book with its Dr. Seuss-style rhymes teaches just that: how to "Be who you are! Start with THAT and hitch your wagon to a star." Because if we want a better world, children must go for what they want, thinking ... nay, knowing that they can! Tummy McCrum's Space Adventure is an antidote for feeling down, the first-in-life guide to self-awareness, and a source of unstoppable optimism. It is perfect for both reading aloud and reading alone, and an ideal gift for kids at any age and their parents. I was a single mother who enjoyed being the neighborhood mom. With a house full of kids, I always tried to find a way to make life seem easy, bright and joyful. Because life is easy, bright and joyful when you approach it with inner strength and a positive self-image.
