MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Saturday, February 22nd, 2020, at 11:00 AM, Susan Marie Chapman will be reading her new book 'Grumpy the Iguana' to youngsters at Books & Books at its store at 265 Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables, Florida.
The story time event is a reoccurring event organized by Books & Books to foster the love of reading in children of all ages - and their parents.
'Grumpy The Iguana', is an inspiring story about an iguana that lives in Flamingo Park in Miami Beach, Florida. He is a happy iguana, until one day something terrible happens that would change his life forever. A new friend helps Grumpy to put his life back on track, and he discovers the meaning of true friendship.
'Walk the Talk. Children may listen to our words, but more importantly, they learn from observing our actions, said Chapman. 'It is very important to teach children to be compassionate from an early age; show them that you treat others with kindness, and feel a strong desire to help people and animals in need'.
That is what 'Grumpy The Iguana' is about - a story that helps a child to understand kindness and develops empathy as a character trait and value.
To support her message and Twitter hashtag #ReadToKids Chapman is reading to kids at Miami-Dade and Broward County schools, bookstores, hospitals or private events. She loves to read her books out loud and engages with her young audience in fun conversations afterwards.
