Author Tim Kloos recognizes the important role his family has played
throughout his young life. His new children’s book, A Mishap (or Two), recently
published through Halo Publishing International, stresses the important
relationship between a father and a son in a fun, rhyming story readers will
truly love.
"One of my hopes for the book is that it will inspire parents to be better
parents," Kloos said. Parents make mistakes sometimes, explained the
author. "If the parents own up to their responsibility when things don’t
go right, children learn how to do that too." "I think that is an
important lesson." "And, we all need someone to encourage us along
the way," Kloos said.

Publisher Lisa Umina said parents will enjoy reading A Mishap
(or Two) with their children. "It is important for parents to develop the
love of reading in children." "This book is about the family
relationship and that sometimes people make mistakes." "I think
sharing the message strengthens the family bond," Umina said.
While in college at Cleveland State University, Kloos tutored grade school
children through the America Reads program, a grassroots national campaign
challenging every American to help all our children learn to read. Always
searching for new books to share with his students, Kloos was inspired to write
A Mishap (or Two). A meaningful tale the author describes as "Little House
on the Prairie meets Dr. Seuss."
Kloos said the book is a good bedtime story, one he hopes parents share often
with their children. "I think one of the book’s strengths is that it uses
the fun of rhyming but challenges readers beyond the "See Spot Run"
reading level," said the author.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Kloos grew up in the West Park neighborhood where
he attended St. Mark’s Catholic grade school and became a 2001 graduate of St.
Edward’s High School. He attended Bowling Green State University and graduated
in 2005 from Cleveland State University with a degree in Computer Science. One
of four children, Kloos and a brother started their own company, Resonant
Programming, which specializes in Web programming and computer consulting
services including search engine optimization and Web site creation.
Kloos plans to promote his book at schools, libraries and area book stores.
