A Quick Lesson in Coping For Children in New Book 'Mike The Little Bean: I'm Gonna Tickle You!'

Learning, bullying, parents' divorce; the children of today can be very overwhelmed with the adult situations they come across. As a parent, how can you help?

In Marie Kyriakou's Mike the Little Bean, readers follow the story of Mike, who gets carried away from his family and must then adjust to his new surroundings. Mike not only learns to adapt, but also solves his problems in unique and creative ways. While missing his family, Mike finds new family, friends, a home and ultimately finds happiness again.

This book teaches young readers many important lessons and serves as a metaphor for the adult world. Depicting how many children can feel overwhelmed when they are thrust into unfamiliar situations, this book shows them how to overcome the challenges that they may face.

Kyriakou has devoted much of her life to helping charities that focus on helping children in need, which is what led her to write children's books.

"I have spent a lot of time with children who face difficult circumstances with their health, family and economic challenges," said Kyriakou. "These experiences have led me to write stories that will bring these children happiness and laughter."
