Sing-a-long Children's Book Release By 'Master Teacher' Gloria Raven At Barnes & Noble
ELMIRA, N.Y.: After nearly 2 years of learning, drawing and writing, Author Gloria Raven is releasing her debut children's book "Jackie Jamis: Jumping in the Hay."
This incredible work of a lifetime, has come about at the culmination of 25 years of teaching experience in New York as a certified educator. The Author's 35 years of composing and singing with her guitar, has prompted this book, as the theme song "Jackie Jamis: Jumping in the Hay" was written some years ago.
Having sought out artistic assistance for the illustrations in the book, Gloria Raven eventually decided to illustrate the book herself, as the personalities and the emotions of the wonderful array of characters in the book could only be authentically expressed by the author. It took many months of learning Adobe Photoshop, to then import her sketches and convert them into highly detailed, brightly colored pictures that tell the marvelous story of Jackie Jamis, the star of the theme song and book.
Children and parents get to sing-a-long and even dance to 'Jumping in the Hay' as the book includes the theme music, as they learn about Jackie, his friends and his excellent character. Jackie Jamis is a great American kid, he is a wonderful son and faithful friend! Jackie is the anti-bullying role model we have all been waiting for!
Gloria Raven has witnessed tremendous enthusiasm by young children of all ages, even some 7th graders have responded positively to the story of Jackie Jamis and the catchy and hard to stop singing theme song "Jumping in the Hay."
The event is seceduled on Saturday the 27th of April, between 12-3 PM where Gloria Raven will read and sing the story and sign copies of the "Jackie Jamis: Jumping in the Hay" at Barnes & Noble, Consumer Square Plaza, 821, County Route 64, Elmira, New York.
