This is a children’s story that I had written for a Diversity in Education class a few years ago while I was in college.The inspiration was from my son’s one-eyed pet mouse, named Marshmallow. This is a heart-warming story that children of all ages can relate to. Marshmallow is excited to start his first day of school in the BIG CITY and is excited to make new friends. Marshmallow quickly realizes through the bullying of his peers that he is different than other mice. It takes a brave rat, named Ramon to help Marshmallow see that it doesn’t matter what we look like on the outside, but what is in our heart that matters. Being different is what makes us special!
Parry Pretty and the Eight Realms, Children’s Fantasy Book Trailer
Someone has opened the Slipstream, causing time to repeat a single day over and over again. As the mysterious events of the day begin to unfold, PARRY PRETTY discovers the heart-stopping reason why only she can close the Slipstream. The only problem is the stubborn girl refuses to believe that the Slipstream even exists. Her logical brain ignores the fact that she continues to relive the same day over and over again, even though she has experienced déjà vu several times. Her scientific mind can’t be convinced that she continues to wake up in different realms, and her practical nature certainly won’t accept the fact that there is more than one realm in the world (eight to be exact). But all that is about to change when Parry finds herself chasing after a mysterious stranger through a hidden room that lead to new and wondrous lands, where she discovers a greater and darker secret that could alter her destiny, and the fate of all the realms, forever.
Hello, I’d like to submit this trailer for the children’s book The Baby Dragon by Barb Jones. It is the first book in the series, The Adventures of Little Arthur and Merlin the Magnificent.
I’d also like to introduce tween Horse Story, A HORSE CALLED TROUBLE
A Horse Called Trouble
A troubled teen must overcome her abusive past to save the defiant horse that has taught her to love and trust again.
Tara Cummings hasn’t had an easy life. Abandoned by her mother at the young age of seven she’s been passed from foster home to foster home; not wanted anywhere by anyone. At thirteen she finds herself skeptic and suspicious, with no family, no friends, and forced to participate in horse therapy.
Horse therapy “will teach trust, perseverance, respect and the value of teamwork,” or so says the program’s instructor. Tara is unconvinced. Trust only got her heart broken, perseverance only gets her put down, and no one respects or wants to team up with the misfit foster kid.
At the therapy horse farm, Tara meets Trouble, an angry and defiant horse, bent on destroying everything and everyone around him. At first she’s afraid of Trouble, until she realizes he’s as misunderstood and untrusting as she is. She pushes aside her fear and a special relationship is formed as she alone manages to calm him, much to the surprise of everyone at the farm. Trouble trusts Tara, and Tara in turn finds hope and acceptance as well as the will to love and trust again herself.
Tara’s self-esteem grows through the therapy program as she begins to work through her shyness and reservations. But her confidence is shaken as an even greater challenge looms ahead. Trouble’s manipulative owner is determined to have him destroyed because of his ‘dangerous’ nature. Tara must overcome her own limitations and fight to save the horse that has freed her heart and given her life value and meaning.

Try going to Youtube and copying the address where it says URL (it’s to right of the screen). Once you have this address, paste it in the comment field–leave a space between any text you include and the address.
If this doesn’t work, I’ll try visiting your Youtube site and pasting it myself.
I don’t know if it was just my computer or the video itself but the video seemed to be choppy and at one point we see an empty chair for about a second or two then, mid-sentence, the author pops into the chair as if by magic. I thought the reading lasted too long and because I still have no idea what the book is about I guess I just didn’t get it.
I liked the music and the book sounds awesome. If there is any artwork that goes along with the story I would have liked to see it in the video just to get an idea what the little critter looks like.
Hi everyone, I hope I’m in the right place;-) This the link to my kid’s book titled: where’s my Granny gone?
