New Children's Illustrated Book Empowers Kids to Reach for Their Dreams!

New York City, New York , October 18, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Marriah Publishing Announces New Children's Book released and being promoted for the upcoming holidays!
Marriah Publishing is proud to introduce new children's book: Erica from America: Swimming from Europe to Africa, which tells the story of Erica, who, as a child grew up wanting to do everything, and later decided to swim the Strait of Gibraltar. Her friends think she is crazy but Erica is determined (even if a little nervous) and decides she is going to swim from Europe to Africa no matter what. But when she gets to Spain, her plans are interrupted by the winds and another group of swimmers, who befriend her and ask her to swim with them. But ultimately, she and the other swimmers are all set to swim. They reach their goal to swim from Europe to Africa but not without a lot of activity during the swim!
Erica has written an incredible story for children of all ages (and adults!)...it's a story of inspiration and perseverance and proves that you can accomplish your dreams if you only believe in yourself and be dedicated to your goals. As a fellow swimmer I was touched by this heart warming story.
