Waterside Productions Announces Ellis Barros's New Book "Mr. McPat's Journey to Stapville"

CARDIFF BY THE SEA, Calif. - July 6, 2020 - PRLog -- A story that explores the emotional curiosity of an old man who is set in his ways. Mr. McPat's Journey to Stapville is an honest look at the biases we create towards things in which we have never truly experienced.

"The Mayor I'll find and speak to for peace. For this nonsense runs rampant and truly must cease."

Eugene Edmond McPat has had it with the hullabaloo coming from the, not so distant, town of Stapville. As he sets off on his journey, each new experience seems to peel back another layer of grumpiness, and unlocks a childlike wonder that has somehow been hidden away within his heart for all these years. As Mr. McPat heads off to share the joy of his recent adventures, he stumbles into someone else who seemingly does not appreciate Stapville for all it is either. Will Mr. McPat go back to his former ways, or win over the heart of this new companion as well?

Experiencing something new can be hard, as well as scary. Learn to brave the new seasons and challenges of life, as you join Mr. McPat in this whimsically rhymey epic of a journey to a city known as Stapville.

Ellis Barros (Author) is not one to shy away from the clumsiness of emotions and the way in which we express them. Tapping into his own fears of things that are new and different, Ellis does a great job of unraveling the excitement of trying something which directly challenges the comfortable boundaries we have set up within our own lives. Seeking to be understood is fundamental to the human experience, as is the desire to understand someone else. Mr. McPat's Journey to Stapville is a bold step towards breaking down the walls of division, as we map out the uncharted territory of what the future holds together.

Alana Hastings (Illustrator) is an artist with a knack for detail. Her images take the reader on a visual experience that leaves you wanting more. From vibrant colors to images that practically jump off the page, Alana leaves you with a visual perspective that is so exhaustive, you can't help but feel as if "Stapville" truly is a real place.
