How Are You?

Hey, Boys and Girls, how are YOU today? Yes, I really want to know; it's not just something to say. When someone asks, How Are You? do they really care or is it just a polite way of opening a conversation? In this timely book, a young boy is not being listened to or heard by anyone around him. What should he do? The need for us to listen to others and know that someone really cares is important. Children and teens may feel that they are not being understood or heard. Children crave attention, and will get it either in a good way or bad way. They all just want to be heard, noticed and valued! Many parents already know this message, but need a gentle reminder on what is truly important in life. We only have our children with us for a brief time before they grow up and leave the nest. It is a privilege to raise children, and this privilege should not be taken lightly. How Are You? lets you know that you are never really alone. Deborah K. Morris lives in Dorsey, Illinois, with her husband, Kevin, daughter, Sarah, and son, Douglas, who is also the illustrator for her books. She states: "I write my books to hopefully reach parents and children alike, and let them know the importance of being listened to and appreciated." This is the author's second book and she is currently working on the third. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/DeborahKMorris
