Annie Mouse Meets Her Guardian Angel

Written by Anne M. Slanina, Ph.D. and Illustrated by Lisa Akers

 Today, parenting is becoming more difficult and parenting skills are even more crucial than ever.  Despite their best intentions to discipline the child, parents often do not understand the psychological implications of their words.  Annie Mouse Meets Her Guardian Angel, the new children?s book from Anne M. Slanina, Ph.D. an associate professor of early childhood education at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, addresses parental communication issues and introduces children to their guardian angels.

 Annie Mouse is a story for all children who have ever felt that their mothers hated them when they were yelling.  Annie Mouse is a shy, quiet mouse with many brothers and sisters.  Mommy Mouse yells and screams at them as she works hard to keep house.  Annie believes her mother hates her until she has a visit from her Guardian Angel, who helps her understand that her mother is having a hard time coping with all of her duties as a mother of a large family.  Annie begins to ask her Guardian Angel for help when her mother yells.  She also begins to help her mother with the chores instead of running and hiding when her mother yells.
