Book Cover & Preview Text
What'll I do if I don't get my way is written in a rhyming style with creative illustrations that identify feelings that a child might encounter if they do not get everything they want or have everything their way. It encourages positive reactions to negative situations and attempts to help children to understand that they will grow into better adjusted and happier young adults if they learn at an early age to handle life's ups and downs and not getting everything they want. Author Mark Shane Williams has worked with children and young people for over 30 years and the last 28 years with young juvenile offenders who have broken the law due to a variety of negative influences or situations in their lives. His desire in writing children's books is to do more than just entertain, but help parents begin communication with their children about issues that they will face as they grow up and give them tools to aid in dealing with situations that may arise. He firmly believes due to his experience as a father and what he has witnessed in his career, that children who have discussed life situations with their parents are much more prepared for life's struggles. Parental communication with children, empowers them to handle what comes their way in a more positive and productive fashion and gives them self-confidence to deal more effectively with life's inherent struggles. Illustrator Lindy Williams Ryan has loved being creative her entire life and finds she is most happy when she is creating. After attending the University of Texas at Austin she moved to Los Angeles, California where she currently resides with her husband Jamie. This is Lindy and her dad's second collaborative book project together.
