FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sherrill S. Cannon’s Award-Winning Children’s Books

Will be Featured at International Book Expos in 2012

In less than two years, Sherrill S. Cannon, award-winning grandmother of nine, has had three books published that garnered a total of eight prestigious national awards. Her fourth book, Gimme-Jimmy, has just been released and shows as much award-winning potential. This retired teacher-turn-author from Great Bend, Pennsylvania writes children’s stories that teach valuable lessons, hidden within fun-filled rhymes and colorful characters.

All four of Cannon’s books will be featured by Strategic Book Publishing at all 2012 International Book Expos (see locations at the end of this press release).

The Magic Word

What’s The Magic Word Every Child Should Know?

The Magic Word won the 2011 NABE Pinnacle Achievement Award, Dan Poynter’s Global e-Book Finalist Award, the Gold Winner for Concept in the Readers Favorite Award and was just awarded Second Place in the 2011 Reader Views Literary Awards.

The book lets you know The Magic Word that every child should know to make friends. This wonderful rhyming story will have your kids saying “please” buy them the book! 

A Special Holiday Gift for All

Santa’s Birthday Gift won the 2011 Indie Excellence Finalist Award and was the Silver Winner in Fables for K-3rd Grade in the Readers Favorite Award.

Learn the true meaning of Christmas. This cleverly written rhyming book reveals Santa’s adventures right into the heart of Bethlehem, where he meets Baby Jesus in the manger.  Santa makes a promise to Jesus to bring gifts to good boys and girls each year on Jesus’ birthday.

No One Likes a Whiner!

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys was the Bronze Winner in Fables for K-3rd Grade in the 2011 Readers Favorite Award and was a USA Best Books Award Finalist.

This is a children’s book to help parents cope with whining and complaining children, disguised as a fun story. Peter is a very small rabbit whose mother warns him that if he cannot stop whining, he will have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys in the woods. And no one wants to do that!

NEW RELEASE!

How a Bully Learns to Share

Her wonderful new book, Gimme-Jimmy, begins:  “James Alexander’s nickname was Jim, but nobody would be friends with him. No one wanted to play with Jimmy, for Jim Alexander always said, ‘Gimme.’ ”

Imagine what happens when every time Jimmy the bully says the word “Gimme,” his hand begins to grow larger! How can he ever turn the situation around? Would being polite help?
