Books with author Jessica Thomas

This book was created and designed to assist in the awareness of sexual abuse among children. As an adolescent victim myself, I created this book to help children work through the emotional difficulties from a child's perspective. The phrase "Hands To Yourself" is a generalized statement taught to children at a young age in the context of right and wrong touches. In this illustrated book it is my goal to conceptualize inappropriate activity in a child's environment and use this platform to reach them. Early readers will be engaged and enlightened, but most of all aware of child predators.

Freaky Shark Facts– Know How to Avoid The Dangers Lerking in the Water. Find Out What Makes the Shark Such a Dangerous Preditor?Over 80 pages of Interesting Information with more than 70 pictures and chartsWhat Makes Sharks So Dangerous? The Shark has many abilities that help give it the reputation of being a “Cunning Hunter” and a very“Dangerous Killer”. One reason may be that some species of shark can swim at speed up to 35 mph. It could have something to do with the fact that they have up to five rows of teeth which is the first thing you see as they are swimming toward you and they are just waiting to bite down on their prey. They also have very keen senses that help them track down their prey. Maybe it’s because they have been around since before the Dinosaurs. I’m sure all of these reasons and more play a part in their reputation. The fact of the matter is, the shark is and always has been at the top of the food chain in each and every ocean around the world. The only predator that the shark has is the Orca Whale. They are fast, they can turn quickly, they have special organs to help them find their prey. Sharks are fascinating creatures. This eBook offers a window into the Shark’s world.

When Ike's bedroom goes dark, the giants come out, but they're no ordinary scary giants. Ike's about to meet a giant of the culinary kind--a steaming bean burrito with a mean squint who intends to take Ike and his brother on a journey they won't soon forget. Ike and the Giant Burrito is written by Jessica E. Thomas, but inspired by six-year-old Isaac Thomas, whose imagination defies adult boundaries. The Giant Burrito began as a tale Isaac shared with his younger brother, and the story became legend after the overgrown, stuffed mexican tortilla made repeated nightly visits to their bedroom. Now enshrined in a book, the Giant Burrito can live on in the minds, hearts, and bedrooms of youngsters everywhere. And who knows...maybe someday he'll bring presents. Isaac Thomas is a first grader who loves cars, race tracks, video games, and of course, drawing. In his spare time, he enjoys playing with his little brother as well as reading and making up tall tales. His other works include Uh-Oh, Bad Hair Day, 31 Cars, and Don’t Carve Me.
