Description

In the Beginning is the first book in this Just Like Brothers series. It explores the lives of two six-year-old boys and their families from different walks of life during their journey of discovery and friendship. This timely tale shows how children are open to finding common bonds even when others may not have the same vision. The story is brought to life with engaging full-color illustrations on every page by internationally-known artist James Lynch. Rudell's background as an art specialist in several private and public schools, as well as her theatre experience, enhances her ability to evoke emotion in an endearing fashion. Her inspiration for the series comes from her hope that people everywhere will look within and reach out to others despite differences, whatever they may be. Just Like Brothers...Summer Adventures will be released in July 2009, with others to follow as Rudell chronicles children's experiences during their growing up years. This series is a must-read for people of all ages.
