Barbara Ehrentreu was kind enough to interview me on her Blog Talk Radio show, Books and Entertainment Tales from The Pages last Monday. If you missed it, you can catch our show in the archives. We chatted about writing inspiration, the importance of illustrations in picture books, messages in picture books, how you move on once a publisher goes out of business, my current writing projects and so much more!

Pump Up Your Book is coordinating my virtual book tour in April to promote Amos Faces His Bully. If you would like to host me during the month of April, please email me at ccmal(at)charter.net with “Amos Face His Bully VBT” in the subject line.
About the Book:
Title: AMOS FACES HIS BULLY
Author: Cheryl C. Malandrinos
Publisher: Guardian Angel Publishing
Pages: 20
Genre: Christian children’s picture book
BOOK BLURB:
Amos is targeted by the town bully because he is so small. When word reaches Amos of his friend David’s battle with Goliath, he thinks back to what David told him about putting his faith in God’s protection. Perhaps the same God can help Amos face his bully too.
Book Excerpt:
Amos clutched his knees to his chest. Sitting in the dirt, he blinked to keep the tears from spilling down his cheeks.
Nathaniel and the other neighborhood boys marched around, taunting him.
“Are you going to cry now, baby?” Nathaniel balled his hands into fists and pretended to rub his eyes.
“I’m not crying,” ten-year-old Amos said with a sniffle. He stood and brushed the dirt off his clothes.
“I bet you’re the biggest cry baby in all of Bethlehem,” said Nathaniel.
The boys pushed him back and forth chanting, “Cry baby, cry baby.”
Thrilled to announce that artists Robert Lee Beers will be illustrating my next book, Amos Faces His Bully, being published by Guardian Angel Publishing. Look for more updates soon!
