York, SC, December 20, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Jeanette W. G. Fleming, a retired educator of English and language arts whose career of thirty-two years afforded her the opportunity to teach and touch the lives of numerous teens and young adults, and illustrator Obray Cowan, the author’s grandson, have completed their new book, “The Conch Shell That Earned Its Colors”: a charming tale that invites young readers on an imaginative journey through the eyes of a young boy whose summer adventures along the South Carolina coast lead to a series of enchanting discoveries.

“This book is a coastal folktale about a young boy named Tim who loves to visit the coastline of South Carolina each summer,” writes Fleming. “Tim lives in a city a few miles away with his mother. His grandparents live off the coast of a South Carolina beach. Tim began his visits when he was a small boy. He still enjoys collecting shells as he walks along the beach. One day while collecting shells, he finds the most beautiful and odd conch shell for the first time. Believing that his shell would be a keepsake, Tim is excited and overjoyed. The suspense begins when his newfound conch shell is lost and found again and again. He is kept in wonder about how its colors are changing. He also wonders if he will ever be able to keep it.

“The storyline keeps young readers in wonder as each unexpected and astounding event occurs. It is a book that will stir the imagination, passion, caring, and nurturing senses of any young reader. In some ways, it portrays the ‘full circle of life’ shown through a young boy’s experiences in his natural surroundings. It can be called a children’s book of wonder.”
