AWARD-WINNING BOOK TEACHES CHILDREN THE JOY OF HELPING OTHERS

When six-year-old Amanda Perlyn's teacher was confronted with a tough problem, the young girl wanted to help. But what could she do to solve the problem? Bake cookies or make holiday decorations? Enter a contest?  Nothing seemed quite right. Then she came upon a solution that helped solve the problem and made her feel good at the same time.  It was a bonus she had not expected — learning to help others was a life-changing experience.

"It gave me the best feeling I ever had," Amanda said. "It was better than eating a big chocolate sundae, better than opening up my presents at my birthday party, and even better than when I got my new puppy."

Her story is revealed in the multi award-winning book, "The Biggest and Brightest Light: The Magic of Helping Others," written by Amanda's mother, Marilyn Peryln, and illustrated by Amanda herself at the age of 16.

The book is written for grades K – 5 and comes with a companion CD of eight kid-friendly original songs.

With a foreword by Muhammad Ali, this inspiring true story has won the hearts, and the praise, of educators, parents, and celebrities, including former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. "The Biggest and Brightest Light" has been selected as the most inspirational product at the New York Gift Show. It has also won the Dr. Toy Best Picks Award for excellence in Children's Products and the Tillwig Brain Child Award for "exciting products that energize the mind while seamlessly blending fun and learning."

Marilyn and her children are recipients of a national award from the Daily Points of Light Foundation and numerous other awards. Her children have appeared on Oprah and have been featured in ten books. Amanda herself is the recipient of several awards, including the Seventeen/Cover Girl Volunteerism Award, the JC Penny Golden Rule Award, the Allstate Good Hands Volunteer Award, and the Voice of Democracy Award.

"The Biggest and Brightest Light" (ISBN: 987-1-934759-75-2; price $17.95, 9 x 11 hardcover) is available from all major book distributors, bookstores, online through www.rdrpublishers.com and www.amazon.com.
