"I want to share with you a story that just happened the other day at a book signing I was doing. A mother ran in breathless and said she was so thankful to run into me again. She said, that ever since I had read my book to her son, he had done nothing for two days but rave on how much he loved my book! She also said, she told her son if he wanted the book, he would have to pay for it. To her astonishment, he went to his room and broke into his piggy bank and got out $20.00 and gave it to his mother. She said he had been saving his money for a motor scooter that he had wanted for along time. She pulled out his $20.00 and paid for my book! I cried." This is why I do what I do!!!!! An amazing four year old boy said to me one day. "Miss Carla I know what my feelings are. They're my power!" HOW TRUE !

Charity Warmest Regards, Lisa Gal www.hollywoodbaskets.com 818-972-2179 Reviews: Colors Of Us by Bobbie Katz Many of us grew up believing that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. However, one enterprising Las Vegas children's book author is imparting that the shining substance that is on the other side of that brightly colored entity-is not to be found in a pot, rather in a mirror of gold, that reflects back the image of all the beautiful hues that uniquely make up each and every one of us. What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? (The Secret Of The Golden Mirror) by Carla Jo Masterson teaches children about their feelings-love, fear, anger, jealousy...and that it is never alright to hurt someone else regardless of the emotions they are experiencing or the reasons behind them. There is actually a mirror of gold in the back of the book, the lesson being that when children look into it they realize that they are the gold and believing in one's self is the key. "I Want to show children that quality of life is simple," says Masterson. "All they have to do is follow the rules, and not hurt each other or themselves and to love others the way they want to be loved. In all my research, I never came across one book that explained to children what their feelings were about. Children do not understand enough about how their emotions work. So, kids are at the mercy of something so powerful inside of themselves that they need to understand it before they act. I want to be a voice of reason and common sense. Carla, eventually turned professional with her singing, performing with the likes of Barry Manilow and Paul Anka. Carla also over the course of her life became a mother, got married and subsequently got a divorce. " My intent in this life is to help to create Heaven on Earth, with my book," she says. "It was actually written 15 years ago. I met a woman that was a world -renowned artist named Melanie Taylor Kent, who did work for Universal Studios and Disney. My ex-husband and I had collected her art work. She loved my philosophy of life and how positive I was. She then gave me the idea to write a children's book, and offered to do the art-work for it. Even though Melanie ended up not to be the artist for my book, she planted the seed. She and my Godmother Delta were the golden mirrors in my life that showed me my hidden potential. Now, I want every child to see their potential." "It's always your choice," Masterson sums up. "We are all individuals and we need to find out who we are inside. It's our own self-healing process." "What's On the other Side Of The Rainbow? (The Secret Of The Golden Mirror) can be found in book stores, public libraries Amazon .com and on her website harmony soup.com. Masterson also has several books in the works as well as having a movie script written for "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?' ( The Secret Of The Golden Mirror). Book review: February 20, 2008 To Readers: I love Carla's book and you should too. "Love is more precious than silver or gold". This is the best book I have ever read. The name of the book is What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? Brianna ( 8 years old ) Thank You so much Brianna from the bottom of my heart.

It's full of positivity and is a great tool for helping a child understand how they feel. At the very least they will come away with a reminder of how uniquely special and beautiful they are, and that is a wonderful thing.

Ashley Barber Account Executive CBS RADIO/ KMXB/ MIX 94.1 FM "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? by Carla Jo Masterson is truly one of the most important children's Book I have EVER read. Why?

The part that will influence them as human beings life long. Nothing else says more for WORLD PEACE than this book through the delightful Carla Jo Masterson and the seeing - child - within Omra Jo Fochtman." Lee Merrin: Public Relations www.celebrityspeakersentertainment.com "I was absolutely knocked out reading your book, "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? You have a rare gift to be able to express feelings and emotions and convey a beautiful message to children and parents. You can touch millions of lives WORLD WIDE Positively your books will become major motion pictures and TV series." Bruce Merrin President and Chief Executive Officer Celebrity Speakers & Entertainment Bureau inc. www.celebrityspeakersentertainment.com "Your Dreams Can Become Reality" Positively, Thank you for your site, you, your book and your mission. "We are all exactly the same inside. After all, we all laugh and cry in the same language..." Carla, with people like you in this world, there is hope that individualism will continue to exist and contribute to society as a whole; foremost by fostering the children - whence we all begin! Carla, May, Harmony Soup's Kitchen Of Hope - "EVERY CHILD DESERVES A TASTE OF HARMONY SOUP"-continue to be stirred by your heartwarming perspective on the inner growth of our very beginnings! Author& Poet, Jeane Michelle Culp, (The Poetress) http://www.bindingink.blogspot.com PRESS RELEASE: Bruce Merrin Public Relations & Advertising www.celebrityspeakersentertainment.com "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?" Author Carla Masterson Shares The Secret! Children of all ages will discover a life changing secret within the delightful pages of an adventurous story that leads to the "Secret Of The Golden Mirror" Thanks to Las Vegas author Carla Masterson, the book has been heralded by Clark County School District school staff including Elaine Sherman, Secondary English and Reading Administrative Specialist and children's reading groups. The future of secondary education looks brighter if Carla Masterson's campaign to develop children's insights into their feelings and emotions takes root in the school system. With"What's On The Other Side Of the rainbow... The Secret Of the Golden" a voyage of self-discovery takes place for each child :- ) No small discovery when the colorful (illustrator is Hawaiian artist Omra Jo Fochtman) pages unlock doors which allow each person to question anger, love and fear (8 emotions and feelings) as an example of what lies in each and everyone of us. And the miracle key: What to do with it? One of Carla's Special during a reading group came when a 5- year-old at the Child Time Learning Center riveted her eyes on a page The "Anger Door". She Said, "Teacher, we don't want to open that mean door do we?" Carla said, "No we do not. So she walked up to me and the book's "Anger Door " illustration. With her little finger she pretended to lock the door. She said firmly, "I want this door to be locked" Then she pretended to throw the key over her shoulder! What a Moment!" Shutting down hostility is not easy as we know from the nightmare memories of Columbine and VT. If "What's On The Other Side Of the Rainbow?" succeeds in helping impressionable youth to indentify agressive feelings before they mushroom out of control, all the time and energy Carla devotes to her reading groups and workshops will be worthwhile! ""The reason I wrote this book is that I wanted children and adults to be able to communicate on the same level through their feelings. To Bridge the gap so that when situations come up, they will have this book as a guidepost. I want them to know that it is alright to feel. However, it is our actions with our feelings and emotions that determine whether we will be safe with ourselves and each other. I want all children to have a chance to live and grow in a safe world without abuse." Realistic goals that can be achieved through early education are essential, Carla believes. E-Education, Emotional-Education can foster healthy emotions and feelings to help our children realize their potentials. Learning about their inner perfection should be part of the fabric of early education, author Carla Masterson maintains. Emotion-and-Feeling insights filtered into our daily behavior impacts the way we interact with others. "We can modify anxious and aggressive behavior patterns that emerge into school tragedies," the author points out. Emotional-Education programs can make inroads in our school curriculum as well as in our homes nationally and globally. An international voyage via global translators and distributors for "What's On The other Side Of The Rainbow?" will be contracted this year. World communities of children eager to communicate, learn, and create a positive future are within our reach provided we shift our educational objectives to a new focus. Carla Masterson's career as a professional singer harmonized with her pre-natal song CD projects for pregnant. Stories poured forth that emerged into a children's book legacy under her imprimatur Harmony Soup.com with future books "Please Don't Feed The Monsters (of Jealousy Greed and Rage) and "My Star and the Hidden Gift". Carla Masterson's Inspiration for "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?" she notes "my amazing and wonderful son Jason."

Last weekend I had my 9yr. old twin granddaughters staying with me and was able to share your book, "What's on the Other Side of the Rainbow", with them. They absolutely loved all the ideas and feelings that Mr. Positively shared and we had a very lively discussion over many of their feelings, including angry feelings and how to deal with them. They were delighted with the illustrations and could really relate to the children that were portrayed. I can't wait til next weekend when my other granddaughter who is six will be with me and I will be able to share with her too. Tierra and Torrie thought it was so special that you signed the book to them, their cousin Mariah and even their little sister Jade who will be born in a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful work with so much to offer for all ages. I can't wait to see what you have next to present in your treasure of ideas. Let's talk soon. Love and blessings, Kitty Content on this website is owned & copyrighted and can not be reproduced unless you have written consent from the author. Carla Jo Masterson Copyright 2006 |

Award Winning / Joie Albrect, Producer/Writer/Director Walt Disney Studios, The Creation Factory International Inc. "It was a privilege to have been able to read What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? As an educator I can attest to the need for such a book in our schools, not only at the elementary level, but a secondary level as well. You have created a rich and fertile field for introspection. Particularly valuable is that the book is non judgemental, but allows the reader to reflect upon what "is" and to make decisions as individual situations come to light. I look forward to utilizing What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? ( The Secret Of The Golden Mirror ) within the scope of my duties as a teacher of writing and teachers of teachers."
