Hi, everyone!
Have you read about this new book about Mike written for children (or for the child in all of us)? I think I need to order this book! It sounds like it will be absolutely wonderful!! Take a look…..I have the link to the website below.
Beautiful New Book About MJ
(7-2-2011) Since Michael Jackson passed away, there have been thousands of pieces written in all the mediums about him; the fact and the fiction, the speculations and introspections. This little book, however, is very different and you will love it.
It is a book for children and its name is Ever After. It is written by Brenda Jenkyns and beautifully illustrated by Kathy Garren. Ever After tells the story of a child born to share his musical talent, his sense of dedication, love and caring for others with people around the world.
In attempting to make sense out of the senselessness, Brenda and Kathy have succeeded in doing what so many of us have only briefly pondered in our hearts. Within the darkness, they found the spark and spirit to create and share what they, and we, understand to be Michael's highest messages. And they have done so with glorious simplicity, generosity, and with highest quality.
This is Brenda's story of Ever After:
I was born in 1958, the same year as Michael. When he was suddenly gone, I saw how much he had done in his 50 years and I knew that I had more that I was meant to be doing with my life. I decided then that I would always say yes to my heart, follow through with my ideas and never stop no matter what, the way Michael always had.
For years I had dreams of being a writer, but never actually wrote much of anything. The day of Michael's Memorial Service and my awakening, I started writing. After months of crying, learning, grieving and reading, I wrote a story about Michael's life. I was thinking of his children having a keepsake to help to get them through the difficult time of losing their father. I have a daughter the same age as Prince and Paris and my heart was breaking for those children.
In March, I saw an amazing painting posted on Facebook and immediately messaged the artist to ask if she might be interested in illustrating a children's book about Michael. She read the story and said yes. Kathy has been an admirer of Michael's for many years and has an amazing ability to capture his essence in her paintings. Art was her passion, but not her livelihood. We started working together by email.
The message behind Ever After is that we all have a gift to give to the world. Michael expressed his gifts 100 percent and is an example and inspiration to us all. It is a children's book, but also a book for the child within all of us, that Michael always told us was there."
The book is self-published and can only be purchased from the author's website. And 20% of the proceeds from each book sold is donated to a children's charity in Michael's name. The beautiful pictures in this book will touch you every bit as much as the story itself. To find out more about this wonderful project and to purchase your copy, please click here.
