A Special New Children's Book by my friend Nikkie
Sep 25, 2009 | From the kitchen of Rose
I have to share this with all of you. Nikkie (my dear friend Iris's daughter-in-law whom I met at the Devon & Eric wedding this past March) is so talented and her message so important. Here's what she wrote to me:
I'm sure you're not aware of this but for the past couple of years I've been tossing around the idea of writing & illustrating children's books. Like many parents I'm extremely conscious of the images Charlie and Sierra are exposed to and over the years I've found that there are simply not enough books for young children about loving yourself as you are.
With that said I am SO EXCITED to announce the official launch of my new Children's book series titled, "A girl named Charlie presents... Stories about loving yourself the way you are!"
This project means so much to me. I truly believe that every child should love and be happy with themselves and their differences, and each book in this series champions that principle.
The first release in the series, "I LOVE my Cotton Candy Hair!" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578029499/sr=8-1/qid=1253546454/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1253546454&sr=8-1&seller= is available now on Amazon.com.
Please share this announcement with your family, friends, coworkers and fellow parents. I'll admit that I'm biased but I'm proud of this series. I really believe that the message of absolute self-love and acceptance is one that kids need and one that my series delivers.

Way too important not to do. Great idea, I've already passed this along to friends. My daughters (23 and 6) will master this series.

What an absolutely wonderful idea. I LOVE the title of this book... I have two nieces who would completely relate. :)
