June Van Klaveren Releases Children’s Book

 

Entitled Me and Smugg, the Bug. A Story of an Unlikely Friendship, this rhyming, colorful book is inspired by the fact that friendships can happen even among the most unlikely of creatures. It was written for 2-6 year old children.

 

“The idea of a bug and a boy becoming friends opens the possibility of becoming friends with those different from ourselves. And possibilities are what childhood is all about. I wanted this book to touch children’s hearts and help them connect with the value of friendship and kindness,” explains Van Klaveren.

 

“Friendships are important to all of us,” says June who is also a former teacher and believes the book will inspire classroom discussions and activities. “Whether friendships occur between people or between creatures and people, experience has convinced me that without friendships, life is empty.”

 

Van Klaveren hopes that through the magic of the book, children will empathize with Smugg, the Bug and realize the importance of being kind to everyone. The story touches the challenge many children face when it comes to making friends. 

 

The book is ideal for any child whose parents are associated with the pest control industry.
