Hollywood’s Book Festival recently awarded Chapman honorable mention recognition for her first book,
Valley View, OH, July 26, 2010 -- "How many nine-year-olds say they want to be a lawyer when they grow up?" asked award-winning children’s book author, Karean L. Chapman, when referring to her daughter Shayna’s quite ambitious goals for the future. Chapman’s soon-to-be-released book, Who Me? What Should I Be?, is an amusing tale of self-discovery, gender equality and imagination. The vividly illustrated story depicts endearing animal characters performing various job functions in a context just right for young readers. ( http://www.halopublishing.com ) "I published the book because I loved how the story sparked further interest in children to think about their futures and go after their passions and dreams," stated the California-based author. Inspired by her own children’s ambitious natures, Chapman wrote Who Me What Should I Be? with the hopes of instilling a desire and motivation in all young children in order to guide them towards successful futures. The author’s mission in writing the book is to motivate young readers and allow them to consider the opportunities and choices they have as they grow up.
