The Psychology Behind Boomer's Books
Back To The Basics and Forward To The Future

A Scottish patriot once stated:
“You make the laws let me write the music and
I will rule your country.”
We believe the patriots' comment was right on target. There is something almost magical about music. It plays on the emotions. We can all hear a specific song and it will immediately take us back to a particular place in time. We remember the emotions of the moment and it is almost like reliving the scene of times past. This phenomenon is also true with rhymes. Studies have shown that rhymes help children learn more quickly and retain information longer. The fact is books that rhyme stick to the mind. The importance of this fact becomes compounded when the books are geared for building the self-image and attitude of your child. In addition, children love bright colors. For this reason, all of Boomer’s books are written in poetic form with full color illustrations. Boomer also likes the fact that children love dogs.
Abraham Lincoln stated: “the philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” From a personal perspective, common sense should teach us that as goes the schools so goes the nation, and it only takes one generation. If the above comments hold true then we have a tremendous opportunity!
We attend school to be successful and it is good and right that we do so. However, practically all the attributes we ascribe to successful individuals deal more with attitude and outlook on life than the subjects they studied in school. So here is the “million dollar” question. How many classes have we ever been taught on attitude? Considering the answer to the question, is it possible we might be “missing the boat” in some of our educational priorities? Imagine a generation of positive self-assured adults running government. Adults, who as children also had impressed upon their minds the importance of love of family and country, respect for authority and civic responsibility. Boomer’s Positive Lessons On Living are designed to make this vision a reality. These lessons taught to our youth when our country was young made America a great nation. Although in recent years we have gotten away from these roots, we at Boomer's Positive Lessons on Living are not pessimistic about the future of America’s children. WE NOW HAVE BOOMER! Boomer takes us back to the basics and forward to the future. He emphasizes the importance of self-image and attitude in the life of your child. We believe the best is yet to come!
For your convenience, and as an example, we have printed below a poem associated with Boomer’s book Born To Win.

Born To Win
When you were in your crib tiny and small,
And everyone was looking at you one and all,
They smiled with pride and said again and again,
This child is special and was born to win.
Grandma and Grandpa and Mom and Dad too,
Brother and sister were all looking at you,
They just couldn’t help getting a grin,
And saying this child is special and was born to win.
And now you’re getting older, and your friends are too,
And they keep saying there’s nothing you can’t do,
Because you’re kind to all and obey your Mom and Dad,
You pick up your toys and go early to bed.
You’re kind to your neighbors and all your friends too,
You share with them things that are special to you.
And children are so happy that you are their friend,
They know in their heart that you were born to win.
So when you go to school and see children that are sad,
Pat them on the back and say it’s not so bad.
Because I like you, would you please be my friend,
Because you and I are special, we were born to win!
