Book Details: Book Title: Muddy Spokes by Katie Kuperman Category: Children's Fiction (Ages 4-10), 31 pages Genre: Children's Picture Book. Children's - emotions, life lessons, self-esteem Publisher: Katie Kuperman Publication Date: June 11, 2024. Tour dates: Aug 13 to Sep 6 Content Rating: G
***AN EXCELLENT TEACHING BOOK IN A FUN FORMAT***
***GREAT FOR KIDS, PARENTS, SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS*** ***PART OF ALL PROCEEDS DONATED TO CHILDREN'S CHARITIES***
Book Description:
This is a fun and comical story about resilience and resourcefulness. Spokes is a bicycle wheel who wakes up happy and excited for the day ahead. Everything doesn't quite go as smoothly as expected, however, and after a few tricky twists and turns, Spokes is covered in mud! This isn't exactly an ideal situation for a wheel who's trying to roll efficiently through the town to make it to school on time. Now Spokes is muddy, discouraged, running late and moving very sl-o-o-o-o-wly. How will this cute and lovable wheel get out of this mess? It’s going to take strength, determination and a wee bit of courage. Written for children aged 4-10, this is a story of resilience and resourcefulness because I truly believe these are two of the greatest teachings we can impart on our younger generation. After all, life is full of mud. And we all get a little muddy sometimes, don’t we? The mud isn’t the problem. It’s what we do next that counts.

Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
