(1888PressRelease) December 20, 2011 - Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada - The Tears of Ma introduces eight animal friends whose names are based on the continents. Readers will meet Rica the lion, Sia the bear, Euro the squirrel, Nam and Sam the eagles, Aus the kangaroo, Tica the dolphin and Ma the monkey. Through adventure and mishap the animal locations and their shapes form the continents of the world.

"Parents and caregivers will enjoy reading this whimsical tale to kids aged three to five," says the book's author, John Bracey. "More than that, they can sneak in a little geography lesson, as the tale introduces the shapes and names of the continents of the earth."

The Tears of Ma can also help older children re-enforce their knowledge of geography and explore creative and alternative ways to learn about subjects that might otherwise be dry or difficult to grasp. The concept is a good basis for elementary grade discussions.

"I've never seen anything quite like this before," says Greg Smith, teacher and 2011 recipient of the B.C. Teacher Librarians Distinguished Service Award. "It's a great way for our youth to start to understand the earth from a spatial perspective."

The Tears of Ma follows a young boy who, after a fun day with his friends at the beach, falls asleep and drifts into an intriguing dream world. Join him as he watches the adventures of eight animal friends in a strange world made up of floral clouds and colourful trees.

Released in time for the holiday season to all major online eBook stores, The Tears of Ma can be quickly downloaded and enjoyed by a wide range of age groups.
