You paced the floor, hoping time would pass quickly; but the hands on the clock seemed to have stopped. Finally the waiting was over! Your heart was pounding. Your body was shaking. And then it was there! And it was … a dud! A disappointment! A disaster! Not at all what you had been anxiously awaiting. Now you are no longer filled with excitement and anticipation; you are devastated and deeply depressed!

What ways do they find to cope with their depression? Sadly, most often through inappropriate behaviors toward themselves and others; addictions to drugs, alcohol, and sex; eating disorders; and attempts to commit suicide.
Because of the seriousness of these issues, Ima Pea was written. Through Ima’s adventures and the interactive study guide, children and youth will be introduced to the greatest truth and joy, who changes lives now and forever!

Tysons Sad Bad Day
$9.99Add to cartA little boy named Tyson was feeling very sad, it was one of the worst days that he had ever had. And so begins this delightful story that leads a child through the honest feelings of confusion, fear and uncertainty with the death of someone dearly loved. But it doesn’t stop there- it leads the reader on to understanding and acceptance. Test-read to children 4-8, the response was similar each time- a whispered “That is a good story.” In this day and age with so many suffering from cancer and other diseases, it isn’t always grandparents and older people who die. It is my hope that this book will help ease frank discussions and provide the means of comfort on a child’s level that will help both child and parent. The conclusion which Tyson reaches at the end of the book is one that brought real comfort to me when it was presented at the funeral of my husband of 39 years when I felt I wasn’t finished with him yet either.
Although Tyson’s Sad Bad Day is Smith Meyer’s first published children’s book, it isn’t the first time she has written a story to fit an occasion. Since reading books often helped her through personal challenges, stories are a logical way for her to reach out to help others through their own. Tyson’s Sad, Bad Day is presented thus.
