Author Promotes Important Values in a Children's Book that Looks Good Enough to Eat

Motivated by her experience with Hollywood media, author Sharidan Williams-Sotelo's The Legend of Limpy and Lumpy will inspire a much-needed confidence in children.

Long Beach, Calif. (PRWEB) August 30, 2007 -- In The Legend of Limpy and Lumpy Sharidan Williams-Sotelo teaches children that with persistence and resourcefulness anyone can reach their goals--but to be careful about what they wish for. This is a book that will amuse children and parents alike, incorporating a clever mockery of today's media-obsessed culture into a simple yet profound children's story. Through the vibrant images and clever story, The Legend of Limpy and Lumpy offers multiple opportunities for parents to teach self-confidence, tenacity, and a healthy body image to their children.

Limpy is a wimpy soggy french fry and his cousin, Lumpy, is a chunky mashed potato. They have a simple goal--to look good enough to eat. Well-meaning friends offer one solution after another to improve the appeal of these unappetizing potato cousins, but when the results are successful, unexpected consequences result.

This children's book excels at what few succeed in doing, offering a story as cunning as the pictures are cute. With outside appeal and inner wisdom Williams-Sotelo's book teaches the importance of self-confidence and the dangers of peer pressure to children in a way they will not only comprehend, but will want to gobble up.
