Children's Author Jelp Shinholster IV Highlights the Importance of Family Support in I Just Want To Flip

WOODBRIDGE, Virginia - Children's author Jelp Shinholster IV uses his picture book, I Just Want To Flip, to explore the importance of family encouragement in helping children discover their interests, develop their abilities, and pursue the activities that inspire them.

Originally from Akron, Ohio, and now based in Woodbridge, Virginia, Shinholster draws inspiration from the experiences of family life and his son's passion for gymnastics. His book reflects a message that resonates with parents and caregivers: children benefit when the adults in their lives take an interest in their dreams and provide opportunities for them to explore their potential.

A Story Inspired by a Child's Passion

I Just Want To Flip centers on a relatable childhood interest and the encouragement children can receive as they pursue activities that excite them. Through its focus on gymnastics and family support, the book offers an opportunity for parents and children to discuss personal interests, perseverance, and the importance of nurturing young people's abilities.

Rather than treating children's interests as passing distractions, the story encourages families to recognize the value of listening to children and supporting their individual journeys. Its underlying message emphasizes that encouragement at home can help children build confidence as they explore what they enjoy.

Encouraging Parents to Recognize Children's Potential

Shinholster's work connects children's literature with an everyday parenting experience: discovering what motivates a child and finding constructive ways to encourage that interest.

For families, this can mean making time for children's questions, celebrating their efforts, and helping them access activities that allow them to learn and grow. The book provides a starting point for conversations about how parents and caregivers can support children's interests while allowing them to develop at their own pace.

As a husband and father of two boys, Shinholster brings a family-centered perspective to his writing. Alongside his work as a children's author, he works with a nonprofit organization in Washington, DC.
