Hard Cover - innocent insights, A Children's Gift of Humor & Love
by susie harrison This is the wonderful Hard copy edition: Available now at publishers at books(at)indypublish.com
Did your little Jonny say something so darling that you swore you would write it down when you got home, but then you forgot?
Did Emily crack a funny but innocent joke at the grocery store and you swore you would remember to tell Nana, and couldn't remember how Emmy said it?
Well I have collected these cute comments and compiled them into this wonderful book just for parents like you!
A wonderful, humorous, compilation of true stories from parents across America of cute comments their little ones have made. A short modern version of 'Kids say the Darned Things' This book is a collection of stories and photo’s from loving parents across America. This book is from Our Families to Yours. Not all the stories are belly achingly funny. Some have simple humor, some are hilarious, and some are just plain touching. Photos of children will appear throughout the book, some funny, some cute, some ordinary. But they are there to remind you that the words you are reading are out of the mouths of babes. We can easily forget that something that might not seam funny coming from an adult, is quite interesting when a small child says it. How they view the big, bright, curious world around them is fascinating. Don’t you miss the wonderment of being a child? Everything is fresh and new, the world is literally a realm of beauty and opportunity. If we can only catch a glimpse of the feeling once again, we could be a better person for it. As the weight of the world’s responsibilities consumes us, wouldn’t it be nice to sit by a warm fire, relax with some hot cocoa, and crawl into a child’s world for a few. This is the hope I have for my readers, as this is a therapeutic adventure. All these short stories are real and I hope you can grasp it’s innocent beauty, and humor.
Excerpt
Jacklyn, age 4
"But daddy, if mommy has a baby in her tummy...then why is her butt getting so big?"
Sonny, age 3
...."Well, Sonny, I am not just your mommy; I am Heather's mommy, Scotty's mommy, and Colten's mommy." A look of understanding lit up my three year old son's eyes as he responded quite matter of factly,
"Yeah, and your daddy's mommy too!"

I haven't seen a book like this out on the market. I think that Ms. Harrison is capturing a new market. This was so funny, I cried because I was laughing so hard, and I cried because some of the kids say such touching things.
This will sell really well. I'm looking forward to seeing it out on the market.
Suzanne Dodds
Having two children of my own and growing up in a family of six, I can relate to the excerpts and really enjoyed some "belly-laughs". Whether you have children or not, this is sure to put a smile on your face!

If you can't handle honesty, don't get caught talking to a child. They can cut through our artifices like a hot knife through butter. Susie Harrison has caught some of that childish honesty and saved it for us. Thank you Susie, and thanks in advance for Innocent Insights II.

Dear Susie
I haven't read your book however as a a mother of two a Poet/artist/freelance writer/journalist inspiring to be a children's book author I think your book appears to be worth viewing. Thanks for giving
A coffee table book always strikes me as one that is pretty to look at but not a great read. I think Suzanne has written the must have book for every doctor's office in America. Where else would this kind of a smile be more necessary!!!
