  • Sounds

    Sharon Crick

    eBook (Partridge Publishing Singapore, Oct. 12, 2012)
    This book is about the variety of natural sounds relating to birds, trees and animals. Then comes the sounds of mobile building machinery. The book is in stages, as the natural sounds of the environment are the first sounds before the builders arrive with their sounds. I was inspired to write this book because it is real and is happening around me. I see it as a positive learning outcome for young children ages ranging from 3 to 5 years old. Young children's understanding of natural sound and building machinery will be enhanced. Through this book young children will appreciate and will develop a real learning experience relating to sounds. The story is fun, interesting, and educational drawing the attention of the young listener. Personification of animals, birds, and machinery will bring great entertainment and delight to a young listener. Young children would be able to learn the concept of different sounds, recognize and identify the characters in the story. Depending on some children who are keen learners and have interest for books even a 2 year old would enjoy this book. The word count is only 250-270 as young children in this age group do not have a long attention span.
  • School Tales: A Novel

    Sharon Myrick

    Paperback (She Writes Press, Aug. 14, 2018)
    Contemporary legend says the business of high school is boring and must forever be that way―that its sole purpose is to deposit tidbits of knowledge into young minds and standardize the way each attacks the world. School Tales begs to differ. As is made clear by its five spunky student narrators, high school, the home-base social institution for teenagers, exerts powerful agency over answers to fundamental questions―Who am I? What do I want to learn? Am I able to direct my life? Can I trust friends to be there for me? How do I find a sense of purpose in contributing to our world?―and is a time of struggle with life’s questions amidst intense pressure to make decisions by graduation and launch into adulthood.Students in School Tales, living in a small town of the southern Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, encounter a number of personal and public issues including racism, anxiety, shame, a cross-country move, gender identity, immigration, family instability, depression, lack of self-direction, abuse, and law enforcement. The lessons they learn in school include the meanings of freedom, success, friendship, exploration, inquiry, confidence, false either/or choices, and dreaming. As these students take charge of their learning, the true goal of high school emerges―and the result is a truly heart-warming view of students building what they would call “a life worth living.”
