Guess what parents, grandparents, teachers, and all caregivers, Tim and Earl are back in a new coloring book! It's the best accompaniment to The Gecko Without an Echo book, finalist in the Chaticleer Awards-Little Peeps category. Can you label all the characters and animals and recall the story as you color along?! In the book, The Gecko Without an Echo, your child can explore what happens on one of Tim and Earl's hikes into the woods and what Tim ultimately learns about communication and friendship. And by gifting your child with both the book and the coloring book, your child can grow to love this rhyming adventure even more. In a recent review by the Caffeinated Reviewer, she shares, "I read the book with my kids and had a lovely discussion during and after the story. We all loved when Tim called out hello in different languages and even added a few they already knew."
Cheryl Denise Bannerman is an award-winning, multi-genre author of 10 self-published books. She is the winner of the 2018 Book Excellence Award for her book of poetry, Words Never Spoken, winner of the Best Books Awards in the category of African American fiction in 2020 for Black Child to Black Woman, and 2021 Readers' Favorite Honorable Mention in the Fiction - Urban genre for Black Child to Black Woman. She is also a Semi-Finalist in the MLC Audiobook Awards with a 2020 IMDb Nomination for Book 1 of the Anna Romano Mystery Series, Cats, Cannolis, and a Curious Kidnapping.
Within the author’s first three works of fiction, Black Child to Black Woman, Words Never Spoken, and A Killer's Reflection, the author addresses critical topics of social concern, such as alcohol and drug addictions, racism and bigotry, domestic abuse and violence, suicide, and child molestation.
In her latest releases, a cozy mystery series entitled the Anna Romano Mystery Series, she hopes to provide relief from a somewhat somber world and spread laughter and smiles with the main character’s witty humor and ‘unintentional stumbling’ over dead bodies and into murder investigations.
Her goal in life is to keep writing and continue helping victims of Domestic Abuse/Violence, Grief and ANON family groups, and Corporate Health and Wellness groups, to heal through words — encouraging them to ‘write the pain’ via journaling, and expressing themselves through short stories, songs, and poetry.
She currently resides in Orlando, Florida, where she runs her 29-year-old Virtual Training and Development company, specializing in Instructional Design and eLearning.
In her spare time, she loves to read murder mysteries, attend museums, watch movies, try new cuisines, shop with her daughter, and take in the sun on the beach. And, although this author’s works are fiction, she has incorporated many of her personal life experiences into their stories.
