For Immediate Release

Da Costa’s Empire Publishing Launches New Children’s book, Emily-Rose’s Day at the Farm

Experience a fun-filled day packed with action and adventure on the farm.

Mississauga, Ontario, February 17, 2014:

Da Costa’s Empire Publishing is pleased to announce the official launch of Simone Da Costa’s new children’s book, Emily-Rose’s Day at the Farm.

This delightful book introduces children to a variety of farm animals and the work that goes into caring for the “rambunctious” bunch. Emily-Rose takes its young readers on an exciting adventure feeding pecking chickens, being slopped on by walloping pigs, encountering a galloping horse, being chased by crazy ducks and milking a cow.

Emily-Rose learns from the kind explanations and advice of her Grandmother that feeding the animals is not as fun as she thinks it is and just how unpredictable the animals’ behaviour can be. With this stirring escapade, children will come to realize that EmilyRose’s Day at the Farm is also about respecting elders through the love and wisdom of Emily-Rose’s Grandmother.

About the author:

Simone Da Costa is a writer, author, publisher and freelance magazine writer. Simone has written many articles for several North American magazines. She has published two books, Remember to Pray: Day Planner and 2013 Hummingbird Day Planner and her first children’s book, A Silly Rhyming Alphabet Book About Animals From A to Z.

Simone is a writer who enjoys the compelling feeling that writing brings. In the words of Miss Da Costa, “Writing is seen as a tool with which to free yourself in a limitless world of playful words while at the same time welcome your ideas, thoughts and imagination onto the page. Most of all, the passion to write is, simply put, inspiring, challenging, enjoying and empowering.”

Simone operates a blog called Simone's Blog - Depicting the writer in you. It is a blog designed to stimulate a writer’s creative spirit in an expressive way that gives joy to the creator as well as the reader.

Book Reviewers Wanted to Review A Delightful Children's Book

Hi everyone!

My new and delightful children's book called Emily-Rose's Day at the Farm will be launched soon and I am wondering if anyone would be interested in writing a honest review of the book and post it on Goodreads?

The manuscript is 27 pages in length (a short read) and it is an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) which does not include any illustrations, but there are a few on Goodreads @: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Please send me a direct message, if you are interested.

Thank you,

Simone
