Revered columnist Miss Manners certainly would approve of author Beth Consugar’s new book, Swanee Day. “It’s all about being polite,” Consugar said.
Houston, TX (USA), October 25, 2013 — Recently published through Halo Publishing International, Swanee Day is a short story that teaches a lesson about the importance of good manners. Consugar said it is an enjoyable book for children age three to six and their parents. “Swanee Day is an important holiday for swans, and one of them, Grace, has forgotten her manners,” the author explained. “She needs to remember her manners before the holiday is over.”
Consugar said interacting with people is a huge part of life, so it is essential that children learn how to respectfully treat others.
Halo Publisher Lisa Umina said Swanee Day offers a way for children to learn courtesy, an important part of humanity. “Beth Consugar has written a sweet story that teaches a valuable lesson,” Umina said.
A career Certified Public Accountant in Pennsylvania, Consugar participates in an online forum for writers. The group issued a challenge to write a short story that teaches a lesson, and Swanee Day was born.
The author grew up in the coal regions of Pennsylvania and is the oldest of four children. She still lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, Bill. Watching their school-age daughter read and listen to books inspired Consugar to write. She completed a course with the Institute of Children’s Literature. In addition to reading and writing, the author loves spending time with her family, cross-stitch and hiking.
Consugar earned her accounting degree at Pennsylvania State University. She is a longtime member of the American Business Woman’s Association and serves as vice president of her local chapter and chairperson of several committees.
