The Whyz Guy


The Whyz Guy (A Diary of Questions & Children's Poems)

The Whyz Guy is a book of rhymes that depict a young boy who has many questions about a multitude of things.  Some of the questions he asks are hilarious, and some may gross you out; that is if you happen to be a parent, or have a bit of a fluttery tummy. 

The Whyz Guy touches on personal hygiene, snoring, hairy bodies, noses, smells, the moon, bikes, tattletales, farts, dogs, and many more subjects this young boy inquires about. The author Chris Cianciulli has drawn from his own childhood and expressed his view of a child in wonderment. 

 He has woven into his book of rhymes, comedy and real life dilemmas. The Whyz Guy possesses an illustration to depict each rhyming subject.  The illustrations are bright and colorful, and will draw the attention of young and middle age children.   I feel this book is probably favored more with the boys than the girls, but that’s not to say girls would not find a few chuckles in the content of these pages. 

Because Chris Cianciulli has directed his book to entertain and educate children with his rhymes and attractive illustrations, I give this book four stars **** for whimsical content and fun for boys.

Angel Donor Named Best Children's Book in the Preditors and Editors Poll of 2012



January 17, 2013 –

Children's author and Editor-in-Chief of My Light Magazine announced her third book, Angel Donor, came in first place for children's books in the 2012 Preditors and Editors Reader's Poll (P&E Poll). "I've been truly humbled by all the support the book received during the polling process," Jennifer Gladen stated.  "I hope this recognition helps spread the word about the book, but more importantly the cause behind the book."

Angel Donor, published by Guardian Angel Publishing and illustrated by Samantha Bell, is a picture book about a little girl in need of a liver transplant. It is based on her daughter who was born with liver disease and needed a transplant. "I wanted to create a book that children in the same situation can identify with," Gladen said. "It had to be a book that explains what the children go through, but ends in hope. I often yearned for a book to read to my daughter when she had questions about her disease."

When Angel Donor had been nominated for the 2012 P&E Poll, Gladen was thrilled. The poll is an Internet poll on books of all categories. It is designed to help authors gain exposure for their work and help readers discover the newest books out there. As taken from the P&E website, "As part of our overall effort to assist and promote writers, we are proud to present the annual Preditors and Editors Reader's Poll".  P&E is also well known for their vigilance in warning authors about publishing scams.
