As you can tell, I might possibly blog more than once a day. Such is the case now. A longtime, encouraging, faithful buyer and reader of my books, Martha Lynn Smith Tubb, a retired educator of Language Arts from Columbus, GA, has shared her thoughts on a few of my books. I hope you'll take a minute and get her perspective on my writing.

WALK SOFTLY (YOU'RE STEPPIN' ON MY HEART!)
The
poetry in Pat Brannon's book is so "real" and "every day" that anyone
who reads it feels as though it is about some one they know or even,
perhaps, themselves. Each of the poems is a blessing to the reader and
remind us that we can survive life's journey. We are reminded by Pat that we are not alone even at our lowest emotional point. Very uplifting.
THE YEAR SANTA REFUSED TO WEAR RED
Once
again, Pat Brannon uses humor entwined with what possibly has been
considered by some "unique" thinking by some youngsters. The resolution
is delightful.
Jason’s s story is one that we all will remember---would make for a wonderful Christmas musical.
MUD PUDDLES and MUSCADINES
These
stories will remind you of family members about whom you have heard or
met and bring smiles, giggles, and sweet memories to you. We don't seem
to be able to put it on paper like Pat does. Delightful reading!!!
FILTHY FARLEY O’CHARLIE McBARLEY
Filthy
Farley O'Charlie McBarley is a delightful book which certainly captures
the minds and hearts of typical elementary / middle school students.
Throughout the book a theme of empathy and perspective is woven to
"bring home" the idea of "walking in another's shoes" and having
compassion.
We are reminded by Farley that each of us is important and can be helpful and valuable to others, no matter what our circumstances. This could easily open discussion for character education in the classroom.
Martha Lynn S. Tubb
Many thanks to Martha for taking the time to put her thoughts down and to send them to me. If you have not read these books or any of my books, Martha's comments should give you a good idea of the kind of material I write.
Until the next time,
Pat
