'Chubby the Bear’s Big Choice,' by Author Daryl R. McCullough and Illustrated by Maryanne Smith, Sets Its Story Among the Enchanting California Redwoods, Where a Young Bear Fends Off Bullies and Self-Doubt and Regains Self-Esteem and Acceptance

'Chubby the Bear's Big Choice'
Author Daryl R. McCullough?s second book, 'Chubby the Bear?s Big Choice,' is set in a California redwood forest and tells the story of a sensitive, young bear struggling with bullies and his self-esteem issues.

LOS ANGELES, December 1, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Author Daryl R. McCullough’s second book, “Chubby the Bear’s Big Choice,” is set in a California redwood forest and tells the story of a sensitive, young bear struggling with bullies and self-esteem issues. This tender new book offers children, parents, and others of all ages an engaging story with several timely lessons on bullying, body image, weight-shaming, and self-esteem to be shared and discussed. Parents and children’s therapists have already heralded the book as an essential tool on the subject matter. Order now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target or Archway Publishing.

Chubby is a fitting follow-up to McCullough’s award-winning first book “The Story of Tree and Cloud” — 1st Place, Pen Craft Awards; Finalist/5-Stars, “Reader’s Choice Book Awards”; 1st Place, “Firebird Awards”; and 3rd Place, “Best Children’s Book" and "Best Illustrated & Picture Book," Spring 2022, Outstanding Creator Awards. “Tree and Cloud” is a story about loss and managing grief, also set among California’s natural beauty, starring a California live oak tree named Folie and her new friend Puddle. “Chubby the Bear’s Big Choice” is similarly illustrated — not as a cartoon, but in a pure and naturalist style — by McCullough’s 80-year-old aunt Maryanne Smith, an acclaimed nature artist from Pennsylvania. 

“I grew up a chubby child who was bullied and weight-shamed by my peers and even by teachers and staff in grade school,” McCullough said. “I hope that by sharing this story, any child who might be dealing with these issues and feelings can find the strength to talk about it with their parents and learn self-care. 

“Of course, I also hope the story might thwart a bully or two, providing a teachable moment for them that our individuality is powerful, and compassion is paramount in any friendship,” McCullough said.

The story follows its hero, Chubby, a sensitive young bear cub with a rare talent for befriending honeybees and perhaps enjoying too much of their honey. Bullied by other bear cubs in the forest, Chubby finds solace by retreating up in the air, high in the branches of the redwood trees. One day, Chubby’s mood gets lifted by his forest friends — a sweet raccoon and a wise beaver — and Chubby embarks on a journey to reclaim his self-esteem, choosing to teach the other cubs a lesson along the way. Ultimately, Chubby takes the high road and shows others he is emotionally mature enough to stand up for himself while showcasing his strengths in a thrilling culmination of the tale, which ends happily for all.

Available now, the book invites readers of all ages to embark on a powerful journey of self-discovery and empathy and helps foster essential conversations and empower the next generation. 

“This magical story touched my heart and reminded me how, as a mother of two fabulous daughters, I always had my eye on bullying, particularly when it came to body shaming. Bullies teach us all how not to behave! Conversely, I taught my girls that staying connected with their bodies and loving and sharing their unique gifts with others were some of the healthiest ways to care for themselves and live fulfilled lives. Life is indeed a gift, so like Chubby, let’s all choose love, acceptance, and kindness!” — Melora Hardin, Emmy-nominated star (“The Office,” “Transparent,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Monk”)

"Ludicrous Returns vs. The Market"
Book Cover

WASHINGTON, Mich., November 3, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Gatekeeper Press is pleased to announce “Ludicrous Returns vs. the Market” launch in November 2023. This book introduces a new groundbreaking approach for investing. Author Joe Furnari is an experienced investor with an MBA in Finance and also an Engineer with a passion for data analysis.

Book Highlights:

• New investment approach is based on “patterns that predict consistently over the long term”
• Stock Investment model developed for optimizing performance on stock investments
• Market timing model developed for optimizing performance on S&P500 equity index investments

“I had a vision to earn game-changer returns vs. the market by seeking patterns that predict performance” – Joe Furnari

The book describes development of the stock investment model, which includes an in-depth analysis conducted on stock patterns over a 50-year period, from 1970 to 2020. This analysis led to the discovery of “patterns that predict consistently over the long term.”  These predictive patterns were also found to be common across stocks of multiple industries and market caps. The book defines these patterns and shows illustrative examples of the high correlation to predict performance.

To prove the stock model effectiveness, a 14-year simulation test from 2007 to 2020. The test results were astonishing. Average annual return was 44.5%, compared to S&P 500 11.1%. This is not a day trading model.

Joe Furnari applied advanced mathematics and statistical techniques to identify chart features with a high probability to future 3-6 month performance. He refined the model and retested repeatedly until the model delivered "Ludicrous Returns vs. the Market." This book provides instructions on how to apply the stock investment model.

The discovery of patterns that predict also led to the development of the market timing model. Tailored for 401K accounts restricted to equity index funds, this model identifies optimal cash vs. S&P 500 equity position. The model is configured to identify when to exit equities ahead of potential crashes and when to re-enter. In a simulated 52-year test spanning from 1970 to 2021, this model accumulated wealth at a staggering 4.8 times the buy-and-hold strategy.

"Ludicrous Returns vs. the Market" will help readers learn how to:

1. Create a high-performing stock portfolio.
2. Screen for best-performing 15% of stocks and stocks to avoid.
3. Identify optimized time to buy.
4. Identify strategic time to sell.
5. Time the Market buying and selling S&P500 equity index at optimized times.
6. Apply the stock investment and market timing models with illustrative examples.

Book is available in Kindle, eBook, paperback or hardcover.
