In keeping with the spirit of making positive changes that stick with us throughout th e year, T o o M an y T ed d i es is a new children’s book by author Shelley Arnusch that will help parents open up dialogues with even the youngest of children on how they can be the best version of themselves. Arnusch, already a successf ul non-f iction writer, was inspired to write her f irst children’s book based on a love of reading that was instilled in her early on. “I was a huge reader as a child. As far back as I can remember, my parents took the time to read to me and with me and instilled in me a love of words and engaging stories. This book has been created with the concept of interactive reading in mind. It’s a lot of f un , no doubt, b ut I also wanted there to be a broader message that helped parents to really engage with their kids," explains Arnusch, whose work is a f ixture in Canadian magazines. T o o M an y T ed d i e s tells the story of a little girl who f inds herself beset by an over-abundance of stuff ed toys and, af ter much thought, decides the best course of action i s to give her tedd ies away to ot her kids. The b ook is bound to resonate af ter the holidays, when most kids f ind themselves inundated with new toys while the old ones get lef t by the wayside. In this way, T o o M an y T e d d i es is a great way to teach kids about how they can translate their own good fortune into a way of helping others who might not have as much as they do. T o o M an y T ed d i e s is Arnusch’s f irst chi ldren's b ook, and is p ublis hed b y B e T h at B o o k s , an innovative publishing company with a f ocus on publishing authors with a view to inspiring self -improvement.
