Can anyone give me some names, addresses, or phone #’s for publishers of kids books? Do I need to have them bound, do I need to somehow include pictures (I am not an artist lol), or can I just send in a typed version? Please help, I am ready to make some money on some of my stories! I wrote one for one of my college midterms and the professor suggested I try having some published, he really liked it!
Go to your local Library and find the Writer’s and Artist’s Yearbook. It lists publishers.
You need to write to the editor with an outline of your book and maybe a sample chapter.
You don’t need to worry about anything except providing the actual story. The publisher takes care of the rest.
Don’t be disheartened by rejection slips. JK Rowling got loads before her book was accepted.
I have a newborn son who likes to be read to.

Looking to get hands on free information for Early Childhood Education.
Want to keep current with the times and age appropriate development.
Don’t have a lot of money to spend and buy a lot of good books or DVDs.
The library is a great place to get information. I would also look at the NAEYC website. You can also just do a google search.
Funny facial expressions and the way he says blood. He accidently hit his little brother in the mouth with his head. Mom did take care of it for those of you who dont understand the video.

Chrisagis Brothers Good News Network tv series. This episode taught on Safety segment #2.
This was a personal favorite of the brothers themselves. The show won telly awards for best children’s programming, best educational show, and most entertaining.
This episode was from the first year of the Good News Network and really set the standard for the brothers’ muppet show like variety series. The Good News Network ran for 4 years and always had a strong character building message. The show was more entertaining then Seasame Street so families enjoyed watching it… The series ended its run but then branched off into Variety specials that were more Christian in nature.
The Chrisagis Brothers (Brian & Shawn) are licensed ministers and founders of the Chrisagis Brothers Ministries and the popular Good News Gang children’s ministry, are still sharing their powerful testimony and are ministering fulltime to all ages at churches, conferences, and seminars worldwide.
Sixteen of the brothers’ Good News Gang characters have been manufactured as dolls, each with a different story teaching a character building skill. In 2006 the twins released a children’s book entitled “Mad-Cap Kingdom” with 14 stories along with two new toy lines, The Smokey Mountain Pals and The Rockhounds. During the summer of 2007 the brothers branched out into another media – radio with their own hour long segment on WKKX, AM1600 “Chrisagis Mania”. The radio show and the radio station hit number one in the entire area. In late summer the twins were asked to help co-host an internet radio show Humbleoradio with Marty Daniels and the show became a success.
Presently the Brothers are starring in their own weekly Variety Series entitled “The Chrisagis Brothers & Friends”. The Variety Show is cutting edge and is a mix of Carol Burnett, Saturday Night Live, & Mike Douglas. It is a landmark in ground breaking shows for Christian TV and the twins get to show their comical side. They are also working on bringing their talk radio show to TV in 2009.
The twins have appeared on TV, radio, and in Christian magazines all over the world. The Good News Gang Variety Series, which they wrote for the Sky-Angel TV Network, is currently running on KTV, the largest Christian Children’s Network in the world. They hosted and wrote for Candid Camera, and have worked with several well-known celebrities from Hollywood such as Erik Estrada, Jack Scalia, Jennifer O’Neill, Lee Horsley, Lucky Vanous, Suzanne Summers, Peter Funt, Fred Travalena, Charles Wahlheim, Brett Baxter Clark, Kathy Troccoli, and Jo Ann Pflug to name a few.
“The Chrisagis Brothers are leading the way in good, clean entertainment for the entire family.” —Kathleen Johnson, Vice President of Programming, SKY-ANGEL Network
