This first children's book by the author gives young readers an opportunity to learn about different animals in an imaginative and colorful way and to listen to the original song composed, orchestrated and performed by Eduard. Each character in the charming story come alive through the author's humor and voice modulation that will delight children and adults alike.
Eduard believes that it makes such a difference when we learn to embrace diversity and develop an appreciation for each others' gifts and talents. So through this story, he hoped to send a message to children and parents that it is more important to become cooperative than competitive and to avoid becoming self-centered. If we persistently compare ourselves with others, it can have a negative effect on us and on those around us.
Considerable praise of his music by children and parents encouraged him to write this children's book. He encourages and motivates children through his inspiring presentations and challenges his colleagues through his workshops at the district and state level to continue to believe in the power of music and creativity.
"Who Is Stronger Than Me?" (Book with CD) is available for purchase online at:
