New Children's Book Teaches About the Love of God & the Beauty of All His Creations in Vivid Photographs

Denver, CO and Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) September 10, 2007 -- It's a Brand New Day: Life Lessons is a book for children that is really two books in one: the first part is a stunning book of nature photography overlaid with rhyming verse, in both English and Spanish, that celebrates the wonder of God's world. The latter provides thoughtful material on the love of Christ and the importance of family values. The words to four new songs, including the title song, are included, the music of which is available in an optional companion CD.

It's a Brand New Day began as a poem, which grew into an artistic collaboration between author Donald Slater and author/composer/photographer Kenny Shaw. The result is a bilingual, photo-rich book for children, which can be revisited as a child matures and is able to grasp the deeper meanings of the words. There are pages within that teach kids life lessons about the importance of honoring Jesus; one's mother, father and grandparents; our veterans, and even one's pets. There are also workbook pages in which a child can participate in honoring these values.

Slater and Shaw say of It's a Brand New Day: "When your child becomes aware that God surrounds us with His living gifts of love in all of the creatures of nature, a seed of faith is planted from which your child can build his or her life and persona. Now your child can learn that happiness comes from within, and there is no need to look outside to the chaos of barking marketing, music, radio and TV role models nor the exclusionary peer cliques that often impart barbs of abuse and rejection. Instead, your child can live content in knowing that he or she is loved by you and also by God. With It's a Brand New Day, kids win."

Donald Leslie Slater grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon, which, he says, inspired the writing of It's a Brand New Day. In his younger years, he served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II and was stationed in Belgium. Kenny D. Shaw was born in Vermont to a very musical family. During his youth he recalls listening to his beloved grandmother playing the organ in the den, while his mom played cello, his Uncle Arthur bowed the violin, and Aunt Harriet played the grand piano in the living room. In addition to his songwriting, Shaw is a talented photographer whose works comprise most of the pictures within It's a Brand New Day. Brought together by their concern for today's children and love and gratitude to Christ, Slater and Shaw are passionate about the good that can come from this artistic endeavor.
