Children’s inspirational picture book
A book of hope can help one cope
Description
A prehistoric oyster named Little Pearly realizes the true beauty that lies within her, despite her uncomfortable circumstances caused by a gritty grain of sand inside her shell.
“My intent is to deliver this story directly to youngsters confined in their situations or going through difficult times in hospitals or institutions and to bring them a message of hope with inspiration.”

Little Pearly’s Hope second printing will be available for delivery Jan. 27th!
I hope your new year has been going well. As for my family, we are
doing ok although there has been no construction work since mid-December. We
will have, (hopefully) perfect copies of Little Pearly’s Hope available for
purchase by this Friday.
The first printing of Little Pearly’s Hope was completed two days
before Christmas but all 1000 copies contained a costly misprint. The first
printing of 1000 copies of Little Pearly’s Hope were found to contain an
error on an inside page which went unnoticed by the plate-maker. These books
were deemed unacceptable by the printer and were about to be destroyed. I
pleaded with the printer not to destroy them because the message of the
story was still intact and I felt that these books could still benefit
children in need. I devised and designed a label that would cover the
printer’s printed name and the printer conditionally agreed, and released
the books to me. I have since distributed quite a number of these
‘not-for-sale misprints’ to Dell Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House,
Texas School for the Deaf, several local preschools, elementary schools,
and libraries. With all of that said I am tapped out and need to raise funds
to continue this grassroots marketing/distribution campaign. I need work,
but I feel that this labor of love is my work. I can only do so much by
myself.
Please contact me about your copy requests, if you can please
spread the word and help raise awareness by sharing the book availability
with others who might have children or grandchildren, I and my family and
the future reader/students of Little Pearly’s Hope will appreciate it so
much.

After the story and message I decided to add a little history with the mystery, and also a bit of reinforcement to the message.
I felt that a bit of educational information to accompany the message of inspiration would help provide the young readers with something that they could have to further enlighten them and refer to in the future. I had adults comment, “I did not know that.”, or “This is interesting.”
The last section at the back of the book has Pearls of Wisdom which are quotes from contributors or local folks or businesses who have a message of their own to reinforce the message of the story. They may have chosen to adopt an already famous quote that conveyed their voice of support and encouragement to the young readers and that was printed in this section.
I submitted the files for the 2nd printing and this time we’ll have books available for purchase for all you who have paid for yours, thank you and you will be seeing it delivered soon.
I discovered these songs that are just perfect for the site! Local musicians will help me remix the songs for the web and Little Pearly’s Hope audio cd…. an audio version of the story with the theme songs.
‘Pearly Shells’ is all over the web. It is a Hawaiian expressive hula-type dance that my daughter and granddaughter will perform in story-time readings for the children in hospitals, schools and libraries.There are quite a number of well-known musicians, singers and dancers who perform this song.
Another song that really ‘sings’ for Little Pearly’s Hope is ‘Pretty Little Pearly’ an older 50′s composition that is sung by Tere Dene, the Click-Clacks, and Gene Vincent.
