BRADENTON, Fla., April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- D.M. Wiegand weaves morals and life lessons into an illustrated bedtime story chronicling "The Fantastical Adventures of Chilip & Pourtney Book 1" (published by Xlibris). This first book of a series introduces the smart and smart-alecky brother/sister duo who are thrust into a series of wild scenarios rife with problems, threats and other conundrums they must overcome.
Abruptly awakened in the middle of the night by a chance encounter with extraterrestrials, 12-year-old Chilip and his 10-year-old sister Pourtney must get beyond their silly sibling rivalry and childish squabbles, and work together as a team if they are to have any chance of saving the world — or at least their Dad — from certain destruction. But the nagging question remains: did it ever really happen?
"The Fantastical Adventures of Chilip & Pourtney Book 1" presents a fun narrative with attention-grabbing illustrations that parents and children alike will enjoy. At the heart of the story are important life lessons that teach readers the value of family, mutual respect and collaborative effort to achieve one's goals.
"I believe this book will appeal to readers, not only because it is an engaging fantasy, but because the behaviors of the child protagonists, with all their admitted flaws, are very real and relatable," Wiegand describes. I want them to experience a fun, smile-inducing story they will want to read over and over again, and which leaves them hungry for the next installment of the series."
