Local Authors Debut Children’s Book

Daffodil Press, a new independent publisher, announces the release of the children’s book, “Slippery Soap!” by local authors Doris Tomaselli and Carol Paterno.

OOPS! It’s a madcap adventure—but clean, bubbly fun—when a bar of slippery soap goes on the run… This delightful story unfolds in tongue-twisting rhyme accompanied by zany, watercolor illustrations by Doris Tomaselli. The story, sure to make you laugh (confirmed by early reader reviews), can be read to very young children and suitable for young readers up to age 10.

Doris Tomaselli is the author of 10 children’s books, including Fisher-Price bestsellers, “My Little People^® Farm” and “My Little People^® School Bus.” She’s designed, art directed, and painted/illustrated more than 100 others. She’s also written a biography, “Ned Anderson, Connecticut’s Appalachian Trailblazer/Small Town Renaissance Man,” published by the Sherman (CT) Historical Society.

Carol Paterno is a music educator, singer, and writer, whose talents made for the story’s polished rhythm and rhyme. She and Doris are already at work collaborating on their second book for Daffodil Press.

This first, introductory printing of “Slippery Soap!” is a high quality (printed in the U.S.A.), hardcover, signed and numbered, limited edition in advance of wider publication next year.
