FISHERS, Ind., April 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- Laughter is the universal connector: we need it, we want it and we seek it. It can lift our spirits, heal our hurts, and help adjust our attitudes. The Busy-Body Book of Fun-Atomy Tunes (published by AuthorHouse), written by first-time author Karla R. Poer and illustrated by her daughter, Anna, is all about laughter and fun. This children's book combines silly and entertaining songs about the human body with religious teachings and insights.

"The biggest message I could hope to convey is that God loves you and wants to be near you," Poer writes. "He will use sad times and troubles, as well as fun times and laughter to draw us to Him. You see, God is all about connection, and so are we. That would be my second desire: that our book would bring people into closer connection with each other as they spend time reading and singing and laughing together. As those pleasure-bonds increase, hopefully loads become lighter and spirits will be lifted. Maybe the reader will even be inspired to come up with a few verses or pictures of their own!"

The Busy-Body Book of Fun-Atomy Tunes is a fun and unique way to take a different look at the "bodies that God gave us all." With these tongue-twisting tunes, one's mouth and brain are sure to get a workout. Each verse is sung to the tune of either "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" or "Twinkle Little Star", and offers humorous insight into the ways of our rather strange body parts. The Busy-Body Book of Fun-Anatomy Tunes was written for children of all ages. Most of all, it is a book meant for simple fun and is a light-hearted way to lift readers' spirits; even in the worst of times.

About the Author: Karla R. Poer lives with her husband and daughter, Anna, on a small farm near Indianapolis, IN. The Busy-Body Book of Fun-Atomy Tunes is Poer's first published work. Other than a few college-level writing courses, Poer's writing up to this point has been for family, friends and personal use. Poer's interests include foreign languages and drama, as well as inspirational writing and poetry. This is also the first publication of Anna's illustrations, and mother and daughter are already working on their next creation together.
