For VBT – Writers on the Move’s November 2009 Anniversary Tour we have three new members in our merry band of authors. It is my pleasure to host one of the newbies: Marth Swirzinki!
Let’s get to know Martha a little:
The holder of a Bachelor’s degree in therapeutic recreation from ClemsonUniversity and a master’s from the University of Maryland in Kinesiology, Ms. Martha Swirzinski has more than 15 years of experience working in the field of movement with children. She is also a certified personal fitness trainer. She currently lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia with her husband and two daughters.
“More and more research is being developed about the rise of obesity in children,” notes Ms. Swirzinski, who teaches movement education in a local pre-school and offers teacher training workshops and customized consultations. At the same time, numerous studies continue to link increased brain function and movement, she explains. “Being active grows new brain cells!”
Ms. Swirzinski believes that every child should be afforded structured movement opportunities every day to promote an active, healthy lifestyle and become part of a lifelong regime.
It is along this vein that Ms. Swirzinski has published three children’s books focused on movement. Using entertaining rhymes and charming pictures, these developmentally based books offer fun and creative ways for children to move while also providing mind stimulating activities on each page. By following the suggested activities, children can engage in 30-60 minutes of their recommended structured daily movement, as well as enhancing other mind/body skills. Designed to be enjoyed again and again, the pages of these books are filled with

I had fun just reading your review. The interactive aspect leaped off the page. This is a book for every parent who wants their children to sleep through the night. Especially since it will encourage children to burn off some energy naturally.
I like your philospshy and the premises behind these book very much. Best wishes for many sales and my money says lots of children will be all the better for having read them.
I like your book ideas very much. I do think children need to be encouraged to move, get out away from the TV or the computer and use their bodies. It will pay life long dividends.
I'm pleased to get to know more about you and your books. Getting children moving is a worthy goal. I wish you much success in your work and with your book sales.
Great interview Karen. Martha, I'm so glad to see you and your books join our book tour. As you know we have the same philosophy-get children moving and learning. Together we can get the word out. I'd like to mfeature you and your books in my monthly newsletter, Movement and Rhythm. Let's get in touch. I hope your sales will increase! Good luck.
What a great concept, Martha! These days, kids need all the incentive they can get to move off their butts (as do many adults!). I wish you much success.
Martha, Great concept for your books. Anything that combines laughter & an excuse for little ones to wiggle around is sure to be popular. Blessings, Aday
In VBT - Writers on the Move's never ending goal to take it up a notch, we added a GREAT new option to the monthly Mystery Site Give-away: the winner can choose between a copy of the Mystery Site Host's book OR a One Day Guest Spot on the VBT blogsite where you can promote yourself and/or your book.
For you authors out there this is a great opportunity for visibility!

What a wonderful cause, Martha. It appears you've made reading as fun (or more!) as video games!
Martha, too bad these books weren't available when my youngest son (now in his 20's) was a child -- I really could have used them!

Wow, these books sound really great, and like they hit a real niche in the market. Hope you have awesome sales.
Hey, All,
Thanks so much for stopping by. Martha's books do sound wonderful!
Karen
Fascinating! Your book sounds wonderful. Indeed, kids don't run outside and play like we did when we were young. Technology and fear. Too bad.
