FAIR OAKS, Calif., Dec. 7, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- It is simply natural for everyone to feel that they are just ordinary and that their future is limited. As we all search for our true purpose and our rightful place in this world, discovering our true potential takes time. It is natural that we compare ourselves with others -- only to discover that we are not the best or the greatest. Just as life moves in an unpredictable manner, we discover our true talents when we least expect it. These lesson-filled themes are set to enchant readers in The Ordinary Extraordinary Boy, an astonishing new picture book by author Kim Tennant.
The Ordinary Extraordinary Boy introduces readers to Marcus, a little boy who feels that he is just another ordinary boy. Although he has a compassionate heart, Marcus doesn't realize he is special and thinks that his future isn't promising at all. One day, when Marcus is feeling terribly sad about all the painful things occurring all around the world, something wonderful happens -- a magical episode that transforms Marcus into one extraordinary boy. Driven by renewed vigor, Marcus discovers the many wonders of life and learns that he truly has kindness, love, and compassion within himself. With his newfound talent and new perspective, will Marcus be able to make right decisions in his life? Only time can tell.
At once inspiring and entertaining, The Ordinary Extraordinary Boy is all about discovering our untapped potentials, and learning to listen to our hearts. It is a wonderful story about the great rewards of self-discovery, vividly told through the eyes of Marcus. This story will attract many readers, especially children and their parents.
