ADVICE FOR KIDS

While this might seem like simple advice for kids of all ages, I believe it can be an ideal we all can live by.  As the world continues to quicken at an alarming pace, we must always remember that the friendships we have today are the memories we’ll cherish tomorrow.

Going a bit further with this thought, I believe the only thing that matters in life is how deeply we can not only FEEL and accept our feelings of love for ourselves and others, but how deeply we can open up and share those feelings with the rest of the world…no matter who they are. Read more

Sunshine State Reading ListSUNSHINE STATE READING LIST

Please suggest SALTWATER TAFFY to the Sunshine Reader list.  After visiting Water’s Edge Elementary School in Boca Raton Florida, we were flooded with emails asking if Saltwater Taffy is a Sunshine Reader title.

I knew we were an Accelerated Reader title, but I hadn’t heard of the Sunshine Readers List.  In order to get onto the list, we need to be suggested to the committee.  As with everything concerning Saltwater Taffy, all we have to do is raise awareness surrounding the book and the rest takes care of itself.

So, with that…please take literally two seconds and CLICK HERE and write:  Saltwater Taffy by Eric DelaBarre, then check the 4 boxes to let them know we are in North America, the book is publishes after 2010, etc.  You don’t have to leave your email address or phone number or anything…all the want you to do is tell them about a new book.  Tell them about the SAWEET adventure novel Saltwater Taffy and we’ll be your friends for life!

We thank you for your continued support in making Saltwater Taffy an international best selling Children’s book.

Literary FestivalLITERARY FESTIVAL

Saltwater Taffy is honored to be part of the Seven Arrows Elementary Literary Festival happening this week in Pacific Palisades, California.  What is super cool about the visit is the author on stage right before me is none other than Alan Sitomer, California Teacher of the Year, who had this to say about Saltwater Taffy: “Pirate.  Adventure and Treasure!  Saltwater Taffy is a rockin’ good time!  Aarrgggghhhh!”  

Saltwater Taffy has been endorsed by 12 Teachers of the Year around the country and will soon be on the big screen in 2014.  Shooting for this award-winning children’s book will begin August, 2013.  If you are looking for books for kids, stop looking and pick up Saltwater Taffy today and watch how your child begins to discover the joy of reading.  Saltwater Taffy takes the young reader on an epic treasure hunting adventure and is a cliff hanging story to hook young minds.

We believe every new book written for children is a new opportunity to teach them about growing up.  Saltwater Taffy helps tweens discover how amazing they are and how easy it is to be distracted by what other people think of you.
