The Reading Tub (R), a non-profit organization dedicated to becoming a first-stop to find great books to share with children, is currently featuring Dr. Mosetta M. Penick Phillips-Cermak in its Author Showcase. (http://www.thereadingtub.com/displayAuthor.asp?id=54)
The Author of The Wishing Flower, Dr. Mosetta shares her teaching and writing philosophy.
First published in the May 2007 edition of The Writers Post Journal, The Wishing Flower, now published as a children's fairy tale picture book by PM Moon Publishers, Limited, tells the story of a desire for a most precious gift.
In addition to her biography, a full interview can be found at http://www.thereadingtub.com/displayInterview.asp?id=54
Dr. Penick Phillips-Cermak tackles writing, women's accomplishments and, book promotion in this revealing interview.
Mosetta states "I write to impart information and affect a child's life. Writing is a natural outgrowth of my commitment to children, to life, and to the search for truth. It is also a way to contribute to posterity. To write is to put into reality the values, beliefs, and knowledge central to your very being.
As a writer, I create a world where children can reach out and test the limits of their imagination in safety.
As an author I let children take their classroom with them. They carry it home in their backpack, sneak under the covers (flashlight in hand), and read in the dark of night."
The second in the series, The Magic of Laven-Rock, is due out at the end of August, 2008.
She also lets slip an exclusive about her newest manuscript.
This second book in Edie's 'Puddle' series is filled with wonderful catchy rhyming poems that have positive nostalgic messages. Her whimsical illustrations carry the poems along on ripples of warm vibrant colours.
