Don't Slam the Screen Door!

Don't Slam The Screen Door is a bedtime storybook inspired from a time before kids were lost to technology. I wanted to write about adventures from my own memorable childhood beyond my own back door. The hope is to motivate boys and girls each night, one chapter and one adventure at a time to explore their surroundings with their young minds and imaginations. Equally important was to model a reminder to dads and moms that it does not take much to stimulate a child's creativeness.

A little schooling never hurt anyone is the philosophy behind the twin's names which were intentionally chosen. Selected as a strategically play of words by creating a tongue twister of sorts to get kids to articulate and identify slight word differences while reading. I chuckle to think of my own grandchildren correcting my pronunciation when I am reading to them. Also, with our own names being similar in sound and spelling, it was a life experience my twin sister and I personally identified with.

Foremost, I wanted this to be a Christian based book, weaving the simplicity of knowing and having a relationship with the Lord. Placing bible scripture at the end of each chapter, in faith the verse becomes a tangible teaching tool pointing to Our Father's Word. In hope of initiating inquisitive minds to simply open discussion of wanting to know of the scripture's source, the Holy Bible.

Don't Slam The Screen Door was truly inspired out of love for Our Father, family and my sisters, Juleen, Jeanette and Joette.

God Bless,
