Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 10, 2014 -- Possum Number One plays the saxophone. Number Two plays the piano. But Number Nine can’t seem to figure out what talent he can bring to the Awesome Possum Family Band’s big TV debut.
In his fun new children’s book, "Awesome Possum Family Band" (Regnery Kids; 2014; $16.99), world famous recording artist and performer Jimmy Osmond shares his personal quest of finding his special place in his family’s band, The Osmonds.
Jimmy’s character, Possum Number Nine, sets off to discover his special musical talent when the Awesome Possum Family Band receives an invitation to make their big showbiz break on TV. Possum Number Nine uncovers many talents he doesn’t have before discovering his own. With love and patience, Mother Possum encourages Number Nine to dig deep within himself and “practice, practice practice” to find what he truly loves and make his dream come true.
This delightful book will endear itself to both children and adults with its colorful illustrations, charming, lovable characters, and inspiring personal journey.
