WritingRoom.com Publishes Kent State Graduates Debut Children’s Book

Cleveland, OH, July 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Jenna Gerling has penned and illustrated an enlightening and beautiful new children’s book, Pappy Plays. Pappy Plays is the story of the very special relationship between a grandson and his grandfather, which is compromised when Pappy develops Alzheimer’s. Jenna has gently created a heart warming story in an age appropriate tone and matter that will help children understand what is happening to a grandparent that is suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Jenna wrote this book as a project for her Children’s literature class at Kent State, where she recently graduated with a bachelors’ degree in magazine journalism. During her time at school she worked at a Senior Living Center where she gained extensive knowledge on the subject of aging, Alzheimer’s and dementia. This book is a collaboration of her three passions: writing, drawing and care-giving.

When asked about her new book, Jenna tells WritingRoom: “Not only do I get to see my creation come to life and get to share it with others, but I get to help children and their families too! I couldn’t ask for more!”

Jenna is already working on her second book. WritingRoom.com is pleased to have been able to help another new author along their path to success.
