UNIQUE EXPRESSIONS PUBLISHING GROUP TO RE-RELEASE

BEST SELLING INSPIRATIONAL BOOK

'I CAN FLY' (THE R. KELLY STORY) IN MARCH

-Iconic Singer's Success Story Continues to Uplift-

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 http://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.
