Press Release Body = Los Angeles, CA - Meiko S. Patton, a United States Postal
Service letter carrier, authored her first children's book, The Giant Strawberry.
An original idea of her mother, an accomplished songwriter, Patton has successfully
expanded the story that appeals to children regardless of race or culture.

One of the many children's book released by Xlibris, The Giant Strawberry is the
story of how 7-year-old Nina Kantabee overcomes an obstacle using her youthful wit
and ingenuity. Illustrated in full color and images that spring to life, Nina's
story will teach children (and adults) that a person can triumph over difficulties
with strength of character and optimism. The entertaining story, lovable characters
and humorous illustrations are sure to capture the hearts and minds of young and old
alike. Patton proves she not only delivers mail but she can also write a wonderful
story with a moral.

The Giant Strawberry may be purchased directly through Xlibris Corporation or Barnes
and Noble.com, Amazon.com and thegiantstrawberry.com.
