New Children's Book Miss Kite Can't Do Right Shows Kids the Importance of Being a Good Listener "I've always loved to write and when the pandemic hit, I used the time at home to complete a bucket list goal and completed my children's book," said Lewis. "I actually chose a kite as the main character because of the pandemic and not being able to travel. A kite is free flowing… goes with the wind -it symbolizes the ability to get up and go and be free."
Inspiration for the story came from Lewis's experience as a parent."When my daughter was young, I always had to repeat myself because she wasn't listening, or she heard what she wanted to hear. I was always telling her 'Listen to what people are saying, listen to what I'm telling you.'" done and book is published you still have a lot of work to do, so be prepared to turn from author to small businedss owner and media manager.” Lewis further commented, “For those trying to write a book, take the chance and submit your story to a publisher because you never know what will happen.”

.Miss Kite loves to travel and explore, but she has a terrible habit of only hearing what she wants to hear. Join her on a journey through her neighborhood, where Miss Kite learns about her bad habit from the animals she meets along the way. Maybe, with a little help from her new friends and a little effort on her part, Miss Kite can break her bad habit. Will Miss Kite learn to listen?
Writing a children's book has always been a dream for Taryn Lewis, and when the pandemic hit, she decided to fulfill that dream.
Lewis hopes her imaginative, whimsical, and beautifully illustrated story will help kids learn the value of being a good listener.
"I hope kids will see the importance of listening to what people are saying, needing and asking you to do," said Lewis. "The story shows kids the consequences of what happens when you're not listening."
Lewis lives in Spotsylvania, Virginia with her husband Dermaine and their daughter Morgan “I’m a life-long local who never left”, says Lewis.. Before she started writing children's books, she earned her degree in Business Administration from the University of Mary Washington. When Lewis is not writing stories, she's working her 9-5 in the insurance regulatory industry.
