No Child Should Ever Feel He or She is Facing a Challenge Alone No Matter How Big or Small that Challenge May Be
We are all unique and different in our own way. Being different has its own rewards.
Pittsburgh, PA, January 27, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press and P. Janet Lee are proud to announce a new book for Children: Ella Elephant and Her Fear of Mice.
When Ella is saddened about her fear of mice, her mother shares a story that changes how she sees herself and her fears. Ella Elephant And Her Fear Of Mice is a story for any child experiencing fear or a child feeling alienated from others because of his or her differences. Anyone needing reassurance will be comforted learning that the imperfection or flaws in themselves are in fact perfectly made with a purpose:
Long ago, a gardener had one very special clay pot.
Each day he filled the clay pot with water.
Then walked him through the garden.
Each time, the little clay pot leaked out all the water.
Each day went by, he grew sadder and sadder.
“Why are you so sad?” asked the gardener.
Little clay pot sobbed.
“The other pots have no holes. Why do I have holes?”
The gardener answered.
“Do not be sad. You are more special than you think.”
“Take a look,” he said showing him the whole garden.
And little clay pot could not believe his eyes.
In front of him was a garden green and fruitful. It filled with all kinds of plants and vegetables.
Little clay pot smiled again.
He learned there was nothing wrong with the leaks he had after all.
And he became the happiest watering clay pot the farmer ever had.
This story teaches us to embrace our differences and realize that being different actually has its own rewards. Ms. Lee tells us that we may all look different from the outside but on the inside we are all the same. She wants her readers to learn that fear has purpose.
Born in Champasack, Laos and raised in America, P. Janet Lee is the youngest of twelve children. At a young age, she embraced life lessons taught through stories told by her father, a long time schoolteacher. Now with two children of her own, she presents the same joy of sharing life lessons through stories. Ella Elephant And Her Fear Of Mice is the first in a series of recent pursuits encouraging children early on to celebrate their individuality and value themselves for who they really are – inside.
Illustrator: Tim Clough is a visionary and a talented individual who calls his work “a labor of love.” Using colored pencils, he captivates moving portrayals of motherly love, reassurance and inner joy.
