What
happens when we take a chance and jump into the unknown? Mag the
Mighty Marshmallow will delight readers in this rhyming story. Mag
is a shy, but curious marshmallow, living in a bag, amongst the
same, square, boring marshmallows. Her secret wish is to see what
life is beyond the high shelf in the kitchen from where she lives.
If she can muster up the courage to take a leap of faith, she may
find a friend or two down on the countertop, with unexpected
surprises. Mag's adventure will inspire readers to take chances on
their dreams, handling stress positively when our plans don't go
according to what we envisioned, and allowing new friends into our
lives. Mag teaches us it's okay to be soft and vulnerable, yet
strong and mighty. We meet important people on our journey; some
for seasons and others as keepers. The ones who remain often become
life-long friends to help us when we need it most, and who like us
just the way we are, without trying to change us. Mag the Mighty
Marshmallow is a story both adults and children can relate to and
appreciate. Mag the Mighty Marshmallow is a third place recipient
for children's pictures books category in the 2022 BookFest
Awards.
"In the back of the cupboard, at the bottom of the bag, lived a spunky cubed marshmallow, she was named Mag. Smooshy soft edges with a coat of bright white, she was feeling rather cramped, her home was getting tight. Mag longed for adventure, she wanted a look, for what was off the hidden shelf, and down where they cook..."
"...Mag stumbled along and what did she spy, but a bumpy green vegie popping out one big eye! At first Mag was scared, didn't know what to say, but surprise the green-eyed monster started to play..."
Review from Kidlio Magazine:
"Absolutely LOVE this adorable book which exuberates liveliness, adventure, humor, and encourages bravery! The author was highly imaginative and rhythmic with each carefully-crafted phrase! This book is one for both young and old- I enjoyed it just as much as my two-year-old son who loved looking at the adorable illustrations and pointing out each and every item he knew in the kitchen: “Avocado, Mommy!” Now he is attracted to the rhythmic phrases and adorable pictures, but as he grows older he will understand the underlying message of adventure seeking and finding your place in life! You’ll want this book on your shelf!" - Jennifer R.
"What a fun and adorable story!! I love everything about this awesome kid’s book - from the lovely rhyming style of the story to the colorful and relatable characters.
