It's About Being Something…

Santa Barbara, CA ( January 2005)....

Weddings can be a chaotic place for young people, and especially when they’ve been designated Ring Bearer or Flower Girl! Think about the pressure they must feel…to do a good job, to walk down the aisle just right, not to make any mistakes! Author Penelope C. Paine, with illustrator Itoko Maeno, help bolster that little one’s self-confidence with her two books, 10 Neat Things About Being A Flower Girl and 10 Cool Things About Being A Ring Bearer.

“Young children are naturally shy,” explains Paine, whose experience in the wedding industry spans more than a decade, “When we assign them such an important component of the ceremony, they’re often very hesitant. These little books help explain their role in a colorful, simple and easy-to-understand way. By counting out ten significant benefits of
being a Flower Girl or Ring Bearer, the child will surely identify with and look forward to the nuptial event!”

Paine’s charming text addresses the more difficult expectations of the Flower Girl and Ring Bearer roles in a way that they can easily comprehend. By explaining what is expected of them and assessing the valued result, the child will likely feel less pressure. Presumably,
he/she might approach the wedding with a new sense of importance. Maeno’s delightful watercolor illustrations reflect traditional wedding accessories and activities making each volume appropriate for a variety of cultures and communities.

Now in their 9th printing 10 Neat Things About Being A Flower Girl and 10 Cool Things About Being A Ring Bearer measure 6” square, feature 24 pages of beautiful illustrations, are hardcover bound, and have a suggested retail price of $8.95 each.
