New Award-Winning Children's Book Helps Both Parents and Children Have Meaningful Discussions about Important Subjects

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 May 2009, 04:20 CDT

CORINTH, Miss., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The Seamus the Sheltie stories allow the imaginative parent to be proactive in preparing their children and giving them tools to deal with life challenges and make right decisions.

The stories of Seamus are rooted in the realities of life tempered with great imagination and fun. Through the adventures of Seamus, Mr. Beverly is able, not only to capture the reader, but also build an atmosphere of safety where he can introduce tough subjects.

Trained at the Master's level in clinical child psychology with more than 35 years of experience, in More Tales of Seamus the Sheltie, (Nightengale Press seamusthesheltie.com), this multiple award-winning author has the courage to address life issues for children and the genius to make them entertaining.

This author does not flinch when it comes to dealing with difficult issues such as adoption, poverty, loss of family members, how to handle bullies, fear of doctors, the true meaning of Christmas, and the joy of experiencing the simple things in life like dancing and playing in the leaves.

"I have been consistently disappointed at the lack of quality interactive materials for parents and children to discuss important childhood issues," says Beverly. "The majority of media directed toward children continues to lack any real substance and often portrays direct or implied violence as the primary solution to problems."

Reviews:

• "As a follow-up to his first book, James Beverly has created another wonderful way for parents to connect with their children. Beverly is obviously well qualified and experienced in knowing the scary challenges of childhood and has paved a compassionate way for learning and encouragement. The focus of both Seamus books is that understanding is an antidote for fear and leads to a kinder world. The wise parent will recognize that their children will encounter many and perhaps all of the challenges and value issues found in the books," according to University of Tennessee Professor, John C. New, Jr., DVM, MPH, DACVPM.

• "In More Tales of Seamus the Sheltie, his beloved pet continues to connect kids and parents in a way that only an award-winning author can achieve through amazing ease," says Jodie Lynn, CEO and Founder of Parent to Parent and winner of the Life Buzz Award.
