"Try and Succeed like Girelephants do" introduces Geri the Girelephant. (a mix between a giraffe and an elephant) She is a little unsure of herself until she meets an older and wiser Girelephant. He simply demonstrates to Geri, using colors and paint, how trying and failing is okay. He paints everything... the grass, some ice and even gets some on Geri's shirt, but Geri soon realizes and asks: "so you try and you try until one day you find - where colors will stick nearly all of the time?" Of which he replies: "that's right and it works in all that you do - if you try things enough, it can happen for you." This gets Geri excited to try something she's been wanting to try for a long time, riding a bike! Will she have the determination and persistence to reach her goal? Something tells me she will, but you'll have to read the story to discover how she makes it happen! "Try and Succeed like Girelephants do" was inspired to teach children the value of optimism and hard work. It shows that with a determined CAN-DO attitude and perseverance you CAN accomplish great things. With a fun and rhythmic style akin to Dr. Seuss and endorsed by Mrs. Dr. Seuss, Geri the Girelephant is taught the importance to "try and to you try until one day you find, where everything sticks nearly all of the time." The message is complex while the illustrations and story keep it simple for young children to understand. Woven into the story is an introduction to colors, kindness, competition and how true grit and believing in one's self can make your dreams come true.
Autorenporträt
Nick Loren has spent twenty plus years in the entertainment industries. His career was kick-started when he landed a job as personal stunt double for esteemed actor John Travolta. Nick's daring antics made possible many of the breathtaking action scenes in some of Travolta's most iconic films. Nick was also acting in roles of his own, and he took on numerous film and television projects on both sides of the camera. He was nominated for an Emmy for his work as host of NBC's "First Coast Living," and his musical talent earned him a Top 10 radio hit in 2009. Through it all, Nick could never shake a deep-rooted love for reading and helping children. Inspired by a cuddly character concocted by his son, Nick developed a series of fun and rhythmic books about a character named Farful Foolong. The Farful project took on a life of its own, garnering praise from the wife of the late Dr. Seuss and inspiring the launch of Panshoo, LLC. Nick lives in Jacksonville, Florida with his wife and has three children.
