BROOKLYN, N.Y., May 17, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Loneliness is sad and painful, and it is part of human nature to strive for acceptance, respect and love from others. No matter what happens, we must never give up on our quest for love. These are some of the lessons that readers will learn about as Xlibris releases The Ragdoll That Cried Real Tears, an inspirational and touching new picture book from author Leslie Hall-Federman.
This book features the touching story of a lone ragdoll looking for someone to love and hold her. Although she was placed way up high on a shelf where nobody would notice her, she suddenly gets summoned by a little girl who promises her that she will not leave her in the store. Boosted by the promise, the ragdoll's heart warms up with hope as her wish begins to turn real. Will the promise come true for her or will it end up empty and leave her lonely again? Only time can tell.
Deep from the heart, The Ragdoll That Cried Real Tears symbolizes the desire to never give up on love as well as the desire for acceptance. Right from the beginning of the story, the pains of loneliness are expressed deeply, which would motivate any reader to express sympathy for the ragdoll. Through the views and emotions of the ragdoll, readers will discover that they have a lot in common with the protagonist when it comes to loneliness and the search for love. This picture book proves that the old saying that "no man is an island" is indeed true and with its touching story, readers will have a heartwarming reading experience. Leslie Hall-Federman's The Ragdoll That Cried Real Tears is now available for purchasing online at Xlibris.com and at your local bookstore.
