Rose & the Bald-Headed Elephant

Children's book lovers, this post is for you.

I know many of you out there would be included in this category so listen up!

Our very artistic friend has been working on a set of children's book and we are very excited that we all will be able to have the first book in our very own hands this summer. His pen name is Wooley Cottswold which makes me swoon because I think pen names are so retro and mysterious like The Dr. Seuss himself. I read a draft of the book when it was in its very early stages and the whole story made me teary. It is a wonderful, uplifting children's story about loving who we are and seeing the best in others even when they might forget for a moment how to love themselves. The story transcends youth and leaves the adult reader with an 'ah-ha' moment of their very own. I promise you will fall in love with the characters and the underlying message of the book, not to mention the colorful illustrations.

This is a book worth adding to your collection.

So without further adieu let me introduce: Rose and the Bald-Headed Elephant

So here is the thing. I have come to find out that the publishing/distributing process is quite complicated for books. So in order to make my dreams come true of seeing this book all over my local bookstore, we ALL need to flood B&N with our pre-orders. If you have children, or grandchildren, or birthday gifts to give your son's whole preschool class order 5, 10, 20 books if you so desire. Because lets face it, there really isn't a better gift than a book. And a book with a great message to cuddle up to your kids with is money well spent. So go here and do you and your children a favor and meet Rose and her elephant friend.

If you happen to live in Utah there will be plenty of opporutnities to buy this book at local, independent bookstore in the area as there will be book signings and the like. I'm sure I will be posting information about that too. Who doesn't love a book signing?

Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that my favorite photographer in the world happened to take the authors bio pic. Very cool.

Read the official book synopsis below:

So, who hasn’t had a “bad hair day?” Or even perhaps a “NO hair day?” Amidst the angst of feeling small and less than everyone around us, we thank heavens for that irreplaceable friend who takes notice and reminds us of who we REALLY are... someone that’s loveable and unique with much to contribute to the world regardless of our “bald spots!”

Can Rose convince her dear friend how wonderful he is, JUST as he is? Or will he blast off to the moon, or keep wearing a paper bag over his head?

Let’s hope for the best.
