Dallas, TX – Coffee Creek Media Group is excited to announce that Sharon Jones-Scaife has been selected as a featured author in the “Adventures to Beat Boredom” giveaway. Jones-Scaife, multi-published children’s book author and illustrator is the only North Texas author tapped to participate in the giveaway that features 13 other children’s book authors from around the world.

“Adventures to Beat Boredom” was designed by a group of indie authors and illustrators to keep young readers enriched and engaged while they are sheltered in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s an honor to represent North Texas and to have my book, Mrs. Hughes is Missing as one of the highlighted books. It’s a great opportunity to team up with authors from around the globe.”

During this new normal when “school” is now conducted at home with parents taking on the role of teacher, the threat of boredom looms large. To beat back boredom, while at the same time avoid backslide and learning loss, the giveaway makes 14 books by the 14 selected authors available for free. “Reading gives kids someplace to go when they have to stay put,” states Jones-Scaife, who is also a magazine publisher and graphic designer. “A book is an adventure.”

Parents, teachers, and children can download all 14 children’s books from April 1 until midnight on April 2.
