“The Golden Rule is a great reminder
of how we should treat one another, for both children and adult alike. The
storyline is cute, beginning with two children searching for a "golden
ruler" that is said to be very valuable but then realize they
misunderstood. Sherrill Cannon wrote: "It's a rule that you live by, to
give and to share, A way to treat others to show that you care." This is a
great reminder for the adult reading to a child and fun for children to listen
to in rhyme.” –Author Linda Weaver Clarke
Welcome back to my
blog, Sherrill. Here is the synopsis of your new children’s book, The Golden Rule.
What if you treated others the way you’d like to be
treated? What if everyone did that? What kind of world could there
be? Robert and Kait decide to look for a golden ruler that their Mom has
told them about, only to find out that she had meant Rule instead of
ruler. What is this “Golden Rule”, and what does it mean? Please
join in the children’s quest to discover how to follow the golden rule and
share it with others, and meet many of the classroom friends you have met in
previous books!
Where did you get
your inspiration for this story?
This is the subliminal message of all my books, so I
thought I would write this book to be more specific and to try to suggest ways
that children can try to follow the Golden Rule in a more kid-friendly way than
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” So I use “Treat others the way you’d like
them to treat you.”
All of your
children’s books are done in rhyme. Will you please give us a few lines from
your book to let my readers see what your style is like?
“Try to help others who have less than you,
And I think you will find that you’re happier too!
Help stop the bullies by forming a team
To protect smaller kids from the ones who are mean!
No matter the color of anyone’s skin,
It’s not just the outside – it’s what is within.
For we must be thankful for all that we have,
And try to be kind to the ones who are sad.”
Please tell us a
little about the main character in this book.
The main characters are a brother and sister who have
heard their mother talking about a golden ruler, not realizing that she meant
“The Golden Rule”. They work together to
share with their friends what they learn about the meaning of the Golden Rule
and how to apply it in their lives.

I like to get these kind of books that have these kind of messages for my grandkids. They can't hear those kind of messages too often. Two of my grandchildren have started reading and the third isn't too far behind. Thanks for this opportunity.

Thanks so much for the giveaway. This looks like a wonderful book with a great message.
I'm entering on behalf of an underfunded New York primary school trying to build a library. I'd love to see this book in the hands of these kids. So, if I'm lucky enough to win, I'll be donating my prize to the school.
Thank you for stopping by, everyone. Congratulations to Stephanie. Sherrill will be mailing a copy to you.
