“The author, Lila Dooley, was just thirteen years old when she wrote ‘Each Step I Take.’ Consistently compelling and deftly crafted from beginning to end, it is no exaggeration to observe that ‘Each Step I Take’ is one of those extraordinary works that can be a life altering read. Unreservedly recommended for the personal reading lists of teens and young adults, as well as an invaluable addition to public school and community library collections, ‘Each Step I Take’ is one of those rare works of literature that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf.”SDP Publishing Solutions, LLC (formerly Sweet Dreams Publishing of Massachusetts) is a leader of self publishing in Massachusetts.

Six-year-old Brayden loves playing with his stuffed animals. He dreams of living in the jungle with his animal friends. One day, Brayden finds a pair of green sunglasses while playing outside, and quickly discovers they are no ordinary sunglasses. As he puts them on, he is transported to a magical jungle!
Author Anita A. Caruso takes young readers to the depths of a tropical land where adventure and excitement of the wild awaits! Brayden’s Magical Jungle is the first in a series of Brayden’s Magical Journey books with the promise of many more adventures to come.
Watch for the second book, Brayden’s Magical Carousel Horse, as Brayden rides on his playroom carousel horse and—with help from his magic glasses—finds himself on a real horse in the center of a three-ring circus!
You can purchase Brayden’s Magical Jungle on SDP Publishing’s site, on Amazon.com, or on BarnesandNoble.com.
About the Author:
Anita Ann Caruso was a former interior designer for more than 40 years and the author of the memoir, “As Ever, Pudd:” A Love Story That Never Ends Told in Letters. From the age of 10 her imagination loved to create fun stories and exciting adventures. Being a grandmother to her 31 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren inspired her to write her children’s book.
Brayden’s Magical Jungle is the first in a series of Brayden’s Magical Journey books. In each subsequent book, Brayden will be teamed up with some of his cousins. “With these many great-grandchildren, and I’m sure, more to come, Brayden’s magical journey possibilities are endless,” Anita says.
Anita has lived on Cape Cod for 49 years.
