BOOK GIVEAWAY
09
2012
The wonderful company I am working with to sponsor this event is:
Suzy Liebermann - Author of "Hugo The Happy Starfish" Children's Books
Suzy Liebermann - Author of "Hugo The Happy Starfish" Children's Books
Hugo The Happy Starfish is a wonderful and educational children's book series by author Suzy Liebermann. Suzy has traveled the world teaching German, Spanish, French, and English. She has a degree in foreign language and business management. She brings her vast knowledge in language and teaching to bring educational children's books that incorporate fun while learning a new language!
Hugo The Happy Starfish teaches children valuable lessons about personal character, strong morals, and ecological awareness. Hugo also teaches children that having a positive attitude is key! Suzy Liebermann has been kind enough to sponsor two of herHugo The Happy Starfish hardcover books for this event.
In this book Hugo encounters some not so friendly bullies. When Hugo witnesses these bullies picking on his friend, Hugo realizes that something needs to be done. He starts an anti-bully club and through that, teaches the bullies how to be kind and respectful. This book is great at teaching children that we all have our unique differences and that's what makes us great! The book also teaches children how to deal with bullying. This book also features parts of the story in Spanish so your child can learn words in a new language!
I really loved reading this book with my four girls. We all know how terrifying it can be to experience bullying first hand, and it's a problem that occurs in schools everywhere. Suzy has found a great approach to teaching kids about dealing with bullying. This book was a great conversation opener to talk to my own girls about bullying and the appropriate ways to deal with it.
Hugo The Happy Starfish - "The Secret To Happiness"
In this book Hugo starts to feel a little down and overall sad. Hugo decides he doesn't want to be sad anymore and sets off on a journey to find happiness! He realizes that what makes him really happy is sharing with others. This book teaches children the value of sharing and how good it can make you feel in return.
My girls just loved this book as well and although my girls have always been really good about sharing, I think it's great to remind children just how important it is to be unselfish. Just like the previous book, this one had a wonderful message, as well as beautiful illustrations and features words in Spanish. Suzy Liebermann is truly a wonderful author that knows how to send positive messages to children through books just perfectly! I would recommend parents sharing these books with their own children.
Where To Purchase:
You can purchase either of the above titles in hardback book or by download to your Kindle enabled device by visiting the following link or clicking below. Please be sure to check out the other wonderful books in the Hugo The Happy Starfish series while you're at it!

Meet HUGO – a little starfish with a BIG HEART. His passion is to make others happy but he still has many things to learn.
Fortunately he has more than just a big heart, he also has a CURIOUS MIND.
Through his adventures, Hugo learns many valuable lessons of character, life skills, and ecological alertness — all against the colorful backdrop of a magical underwater world and mystical islands.
Join Hugo on his journey as he discovers that having the right attitude is the best way to be — and the only way to be truly happy.
Believing that happiness can be learned, feelings can be understood, and that building character based on a positive attitude leads to a happy, content, successful and confident human being, Suzy Liebermann has written this charming series of children’s books to help educate children about their feelings, their attitudes, their choices, and the consequences that follow.
In Hugo, children, parents, and educators will discover a lovable and engaging role model with whom they can identify.

Hugo ist ein kleiner Seestern. Er ist immer traurig und hat endlich genug vom Traurigsein. Darum macht er sich auf, das Glück zu suchen. Nach einer Weile entdeckt er etwas, was sein Herz Purzelbäume schlagen lässt. Er lernt zu teilen, ohne dabei an sich zu denken.
Dieses erste Buch in der HUGO DER KLEINE SEESTERN Serie von Suzy Liebermann erklärt auf verständliche Weise mit vielen bunten Zeichnungen die Charaktereigenschaft EMPATHIE, die Fähigkeit, sich in andere hineinzuversetzen.
Empathie spielt in heutigen Gesellschaft, in der Teamarbeit sehr wichtig ist, eine Schlüsselrolle. Empathische Kinder sind weniger aggressiv, wengier egoistisch und können sich durch ein gesteigertes Kooperationsvermögen besser in Gruppen einfügen.
