"Jumpy" is the picture book story of a puppy named Jumpy who is very often scared and afraid of loud noises, strange people, and new experiences.
One day his friend, Turtle, shows up and explains how he remains so calm and confident in scary and stressful situations.
How does Jumpy react to Turtle's advice? Is his fear diminished and his confidence ramped up? All is revealed in this short and easy read of twenty-nine "Read-along" pages that young kids, parents, and grandparents will enjoy -- particularly if they have a love of animals and nature. There's a dash of humor thrown in, too!
Jumpy learned from his friend to be calm
I loved this book because it shows just how we can condition ourselves to be calm in any situation if we just look at it in a calming\relaxing way. I think this book would be helpful for any child who is maybe afraid of sleeping alone or afraid of the dark even . . . great book really for anyone in overcoming their fears . . . very well planned . . . loved it.

I'm a former newspaper reporter, advertising salesman, and specialty newspaper publisher (antiques) turned book writer. Words and I have a history, and we've been on and off, hot and cold. We've had break-ups and make-ups. During all this, I've lived in Seagrove, Wilmington, Robbins, Raleigh, and Greensboro, all North Carolina towns, in that order. Then, being still young and dumb, and feeling practically invincible, I tried Richmond, VA, Phoenix, AZ, and Hot Lanta, Georgia, called Atlanta by some folks. Now, I've landed in Florida, close to a mouse with big ears.
I will read most any book EXCEPT fiction, including encyclopedias and dictionaries (well, a page or two every few years). That's a pity because multitudes love fiction and it's where the big money is, and I should be reading it to learn how to write it. That's okay, though, because enough money is enough when you really think about it.
Biographies, adventure stories, how-tos, histories, and art books stay the longest in my forever evolving bookcases scattered through most every room in my home. I have a dozen bookcases of all varieties and size; a couple came from big box office supply stores but most came from local thrift shops, which I haunt weekly in search of old and rare books.
I have lost and regained the same ten to fifteen pounds at least a dozen times during my life. I made a resolution to stop drinking coffee on April 15, 2009, and have not had one cup since. Of course, I took up with green tea soon thereafter and now drink five or six cups of the stuff every day. I have a cat named Fraidycat who I believe was a human in an earlier
