Sales arguments

• Child-development experts emphasize that chores help children develop responsibility, independence, teamwork, and important life skills, while consistent routines and clear expectations can help children succeed. At the same time, the CDC notes that arguing, refusing requests, and testing limits are common behaviors during childhood. Ava Larue and the Bumpalooz turns this everyday family challenge into an imaginative, humorous story that encourages children to think about the consequences of their choices.
• I feel I can be valuable in the marketing of my book through my podcast on Spotify entitled "The Astounding People Podcast" , as well as utilizing the contacts i have made and the friendships formed with people of note in the entertainment industry who may help promote. I generally like to think outside the box and enjoy marketing so I will have no reservations in contacting local newspapers and bookstores to help stir up attention to this project
