I write children's books to help uplift children, especially during these difficult times. Children need good habits, tools and skills to face the challenges they will meet in order to remain positive, happy, healthy, and productive throughout their lives.

As a King Features syndicated author, I have been creating positive and inspirational messages, called "Happy Musings,"for newspapers in the U.S. and Canada for many years. This has led to my writing and illustrating a great number of uplifting books for both adults and children. Along with my writing and illustrating, through the years I have created collections of wallpaperfor children, baby bibs, t-shirt designs, and a vast number of prints and original art for children's rooms.

As you can see from the title of this book, it is the fourth in a line of books titled Happy Children's SeriesThis series covers:

*THE MERMAID TEA PARTY (about Kindness and Manners)http://amzn.to/L04JrH

*THE LITTLE LEPRECHAUN WHO LOVED YELLOW! (about Following Your Heart)http://amzn.to/KQHC1K

* THE SECRET (Manners and Saying "Please")http://amzn.to/RUHto5

In this book you'll meet a very stubborn, bored, and uninspired cow. She is steadfast in her determination not to try something new. She is amusingly invited to join one animal after the next in an adventure with them, but sticks to her old habits. It is not until a chicken encourages her to jump over the moon that she decides to change her ways.

All in rhyme, and all with a smile, this story is one to delight every child, and subtly spark the spirit of adventure within them. It emphasizes the importance of trying something new — to be adventurous — in the most whimsical way.

— Charmingly illustrated in bright and happy colors.

— Your child will want to read along and encourage the young the cow to try something. Great fun!

Those who delight in the books of Dr. Seuss, Sandra Boyton, the Bernsteins, Mo Willems, and Laura Numeroff will love HOW THE COW JUMPED OVER THE MOON. This is a wonderful bedtime story your child will want to read again and again.
