A Warm New Children's Book Celebrates Differences
Miami, FL (PRWeb) January 20, 2007 -- In A Journey Home, the charmingly illustrated new children's book by Richard Baugh, children learn to appreciate diversity and to follow safety rules.
The joys of friendship, the thrill of adventure, and the necessity of fire and swimming safety are the messages behind A Journey Home, the wonderful new children's book by author Richard Baugh. In the book, the spunky chimpanzee Matumbo meets Pepe, a startlingly pink dinosaur, but rather than fearing each other, the two become friends. As they head home, they save a boy from drowning, rescue a girl from a fire, and stop one child from bullying another. A rich story about rising above differences and dealing with the false perceptions of others, A Journey Home will teach, amaze and enchant children of all ages.
Baugh knows first-hand what it is like to grow up different. Two weeks after his birth, doctors discovered he had a painful sight-robbing disease, congenital glaucoma. Growing up visually impaired was difficult and challenging, but Baugh had the support of friends and family. His firm bedrock of spirituality also helped him look on the sunnier side of life. A Journey Home is a wonderfully instructive book for anyone who may feel a little out of place. Told with grace and humor and festooned with charming illustrations, this is a celebration of all people and a gentle reminder of the importance of acceptance.
