PUYALLUP, Wash., May 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Has your child told you about a new kid in their class? Did they try to make the new kid at school feel welcome? Author Daniel Noman relives the 'new kid' experience as he tells a delightful tale of friendship and embracing each others' differences in Gorble and the New Kid.
Gorble and his family live in Woeyville, a town in Bubble City, on the planet Woey. Gorble attends school with his two best friends Wibble and Cronk. When a strange looking and sounding new student arrives in Gorble's class, he finds himself unsure of how to treat the 'new kid'. With the guidance of his parents and some fascinating personal experiences, Gorble comes to an important realization of how to treat others.
In this engaging tale about friendship, Gorble and the New Kid will teach children that it is wrong to laugh and make fun of other people. It also imparts an essential message about how important it is to accept each others' differences. Did Gorble finally reach out to the new kid? Read on and find out.
Gorble and the New Kid will be featured in the 2009 Beijing International Book Fair at Beijing, China in September.
