New Children's Storybook Imparts a Valuable Life Lesson

Tewksbury, Massachusetts (PRWEB) August 1, 2007 -- "Creepy Buggy Brothers Bug Me" by author Beth Melisi-Huckins relates the plight of a little girl named Kiley Elizabeth, whose three brothers are driving her mad. Inspired to write by her own family's dynamics, the author used her four children as the characters and basis for her story.

In "Creepy Buggy Brothers Bug Me," Kiley Elizabeth, fed up with her pestering brothers, uses her imagination to turn her annoying siblings into bugs that land in very specific places far, far away from her. However, as Kiley begins to contemplate life without her brothers, she soon appreciates how much she would miss them and realizes that they really weren't that bothersome after all.

"Creepy Buggy Brothers Bug Me" teaches children that seemingly bad situations can actually have value and that lots of love can come from sibling rivalry. A story children of all ages can identify with, "Creepy Buggy Brothers Bug Me" is likely to evoke a chuckle from readers and will most definitely warm their hearts.
