(PRWEB) August 28, 2002
A special magic is about to happen—and it all began when 17 third graders at The Landing School in Glen Cove, New York, were asked to help author Barbara Yanowski draw pictures for her story about a brave-hearted cat. This simple request grew into a special book with a big mission: to change our universe, one good deed at a time.
From the moment Publisher Hank Connolly saw the awesome pictures that spilled from the hearts of these youngsters, he saw the need to share them with the world. Plans to release Barbara Yanowski inspirational book, The Bad Stuff Is the Good Stuff were put on hold until early 2003. Production of Sam the Hero Cat took on a life of its own. The uniqueness of this book is evident from cover to cover. No child can resist
Yeooowing as they read the story and, as were the third graders, they are inspired to produce their own drawings of the images they see in their minds. Adding to the special features of this book is the addition of the “behind-the-scent” story of how the book was created and pictures of the 17 youngsters to made it happen.
With the proceeds from the sale of this book going to a Hero Fund to be established at The Landing School, this book will set the wheels in motion for a real life “Pay It Forward.” We honor our many wonderful heroes, especially this September. But why not honor our little heroes as they move forward, one good deed at a time? This book is a right time, right place, right message kind of thing. Join the ride.
The launch of Sam the Hero Cat will be on Friday, September 6, 2002 at 2:30 p. m. And what better spot than on the grounds of the school where the magic began, The Landing School in Glen Cove, New York.
Appearing at the launch along with Barbara Yanowski and The Basha Bunch (the 17 third graders) will be the Superintendent, Principal, and selected teachers in the school district. Special guest will be Shelly Mecum, award-winning author of God's Photo Album: How We Looked for God and Saved Our School.

Bio for Barbara Yanowski:
Charles Osgood called Barbara, “a great teacher and a born storyteller.” With over 30 years of inspirational speaking, teaching, and consulting experience, she is just the person to speak for that tiny spark that lies dormant until it is called out by some extraordinary circumstance. The “educator” within Barbara, once named "Teacher of the Century,” recognized that Sam the Hero Cat had become the “little book with the big mission.” As a writer, lecturer, professor, television personality, and producer of educational programming, Barbara has made it her mission to spark Americans, young and old alike, into becoming “everyday heroes”
And returning our country to the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. It's a right time, right place, right message kind of thing.
