When Eye-Catching Illustrations Meet Storytelling: The Tale of Michael Schane Comes to Life

The first-time author, Michael Schane, is about to release his book, The Boy and the Witch. After he completed the first draft of his book, he was forced to wonder why he chose a graphic book instead of a traditional, text-only one.

Initially, Schane was confused. Later, he realized where the answer to this question lay; it came from a common misconception among parents, who often regard books with illustrations as an "inferior" form of literature. They label them 'easy reads' and discourage their children from choosing them.

Despite this, Michael remained firm in his decision to publish his first book with illustrations, determined to challenge this narrative. As a father of two, he loves reading stories to his kids and understands that the simplest way to raise a reader is by respecting their choices. While most people know children are naturally drawn to illustrated books, these are often dismissed.

Through his work, Michael is pushing back against this mindset. He believes it's not enough to raise a child who can read; the goal should be to raise a child who loves to read. To achieve this, every adult, whether a parent, teacher, educator, or even an elder sibling, shares a critical responsibility "to protect their innocent love for reading."

The misconception that enjoyable learning isn't an 'actual thing' is a harmful narrative. In today's tech-driven world, adaptability is crucial, and faster adaptation leads to easier success. When parents consider discouraging their child from reading illustrated books, they should remember the ultimate goal: raising a reader. This is only achievable by letting children read what they love, not what we think they should read.

Michael's book, The Boy and The Witch, is about to captivate readers in every way. It has an accessible vocabulary that enhances reading comprehension with text and visuals. The adorable and engaging graphics also keep the young reader's attention from diverting elsewhere, boosting focus.

One particularly praised aspect of the book is its portrayal of the "black witch." Dressed in a sweet, short black frock and with an innocent expression, the character is entirely child-friendly. Unlike many others, Michael paid close attention to every detail, ensuring the book has a positive impact on young minds and helps parents raise a reader in their house.

The Boy and The Witch will soon be available on Amazon.
