Chicago, Illinois...Unique Expressions, the publisher of such best selling
children's books as 'I Love Me' and 'Who Am I?' and most recently the hit
novel 'The Beautiful Ones' will re-release the best selling children's story
'I Can Fly! (The R. Kelly Story)' on March 1, 2003. The book, based on the
rags to riches tale of Grammy Award winning R&B icon R. Kelly, was first
released in 1998 and was an immediate hit with children, parents and
educators.
According to the book's author and Unique Expressions founder and president
Kim L. Dulaney, the decision to re-release 'I Can Fly!' after a brief
suspension of the title was based as much on public demand as it was on the
publisher's objective. "We were concerned about the controversy surrounding
Mr. Kelly," Ms. Dulaney explains. "Our commitment is to uplift readers,
especially women and children. We wanted to be certain that continued
publication of this book would serve to further motivate and cultivate a
positive effect."
Unique Expressions first opted to pull 'I Can Fly!' from distribution in
early 2002. However, the public's desire for the book since then has been
greater than ever. Bookstore owners and readers everywhere have commented
positively about 'I Can Fly!' and have suggested that children fortunate
enough to have read a copy of the book benefited from the story's
against-all-odds tale of trial and triumph. "Due to the encouraging nature
of 'I Can Fly!' we feel that the book falls right in line with our mission
to inspire readers to dream, work hard, and overcome any obstacles that try
to keep them from their goals," says Ms. Dulaney.
'I Can Fly! (The R. Kelly Story)' will once again be available on March 1,
2003. The 32-page hardcover book sells for $12.95. Bookstores can order the
title through major distributors Ingram Books or Baker & Taylor. Log onto
the Unique Expressions website at www.readme4.com to purchase books directly
and to learn more about author Kim L. Dulaney.
In late 2003 Unique Expressions will also release the tentatively titled
'Star Struck: An American Epidemic.' 'Star Struck,' written by Ms. Dulaney,
is inspired by her longtime association with R. Kelly and other entertainers
and promises to break literary ground on America's age-old obsession with the rich and famous.
