Charleston, SC, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While most 11-year-olds are busy playing video games, Michael A. Roberts has been busy writing and illustrating a story about playing video games, among others. A true renaissance tween, Roberts enjoys many creative pursuits, but in his latest project, a collection of short stories centered on a heroic bouncy ball, he seeks to inspire his peers to discover the power of their own imagination. “I want to encourage children around the world to use their imagination and know that all things are possible if they believe,” Roberts says.

In “The Bouncing Ball Adventures,” young readers are introduced to Bouncing Ball and his friends through a collection of short stories. From building a shrink ray and searching for a lost laptop to play video games to a perfectly timed trip to the zoo, Bouncing Ball encourages readers to embrace their creativity and if they have a good idea, be ready to turn their ideas into action. Likening Bouncing Ball to Peppa Pig and Curious George, Roberts imparts life lessons while allowing for plenty of fun. Featuring fifteen adventurous tales and Roberts’ own illustrations, the book is engaging, entertaining and educational.

“The Bouncing Ball Adventures” is available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
