Three children encounter magic, a mischievous leprechaun, friendship and other exciting adventures

GROSSE POINTE WOODS, Mich. - J Lee Burke and E Jones announce their entry into the publishing scene with the release of "Can I Tell You Something?", March 2023, a remarkable children's book in which childhood fantasy and magical adventures come to life with three little girls and their explorations that lead to sharing and caring friendships.


This whimsical adventure book is filled with short stories of three children who encounter magic, a mischievous leprechaun and other exciting adventures. Along the journey, they learn that sharing and caring for others is important in their lives.

An excerpt from the book reads:
"Today is the day. I'm not going to let Paddy trick me again. He knows a lot of magic, so if you ever get the chance to catch him, remember that he'll try to trick you. I have a plan to catch him, so get ready for the adventure," Polly says.

"Children of all ages love to laugh and read whimsical stories about characters who are like themselves. The adventures they go on are exciting, magical, and carefree. The lively adventures take them on travels they might never experience in real life," the authors say.

When asked what they want readers to take away from the book, they answered, "Reading is an exciting adventure and they can learn to travel wherever they want to go in a book. Children learn about sharing and caring for each other and they are educated about new places and lively adventures where they can explore different parts of the United States and Ireland."
