Please come.” <\/p>\n Brave Books, which published Cameron’s book “As You Grow” as well as books by Sheriff Lamb and many others, told Fox News Digital it will start the event at the Scottsdale Public Library “by having our patriotic time<\/a> outside the library at 11 a.m.”<\/p>\n SHERIFF LAMB CALLS OUT \u2018ATTACK ON TRADITIONAL VALUES,\u2019 HAS A FIX FOR THAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The group said it plans to say the Pledge of Allegiance, then “sing the national anthem and pray outside the library.”<\/p>\n Said Sheriff Lamb in a statement, “Protecting the innocence of children is vital to the preservation of the values this country was founded upon. This woke virus that seems to be spreading across our nation is coming after our kids<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Kirk Cameron, at left, and Sheriff Mark Lamb, at right.

The American people look up to our representatives, and we must elect individuals that will stand up for values like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness and more.”<\/p>\n The book event<\/a> is scheduled to be held at the Civic Center Library on N. Drinkwater Boulevard in Scottsdale on Friday, April 14, beginning at 11 a.m. <\/p>\n Local groups including Scottsdale Moms have listed the Cameron event for Friday on their websites. <\/p>\n KIRK CAMERON HOSTS STORY HOUR OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY AFTER PUBLISHER SAYS HE WAS DENIED SPACE INDOORS<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n CEO of Brave Books Trent Talbot said in a statement, “We have a fight on our hands for the soul of the country. We all need to ask ourselves what we can do to preserve the Christian values<\/a> this country was founded upon.”<\/p>\n He added that for his publishing team, “that means making books that parents and grandparents can trust and taking back our libraries.”<\/p>\n Kirk Cameron (left, front), with country singer Coffey Anderson (right, front), are shown during a story hour book event for families and children in Savannah, Georgia, in February 2023.

We’re seeing an attack on our children and an effort to educate them about things that most parents are not OK with,” added Lamb, a father and grandfather.<\/p>\n “We’re being fed things that aren’t always what they appear to be.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It is why, he said \u2014 in an effort to help educate America’s children<\/a> and “be part of their lives in a positive way” \u2014 he chose to write a children’s book that teaches critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n The illustrated children’s book published in January 2023 is entitled, “The Adventures of Seymour Clues and Mr. Mouse: The Case of the Mysterious Sea Monster.” <\/p>\n Sheriff Mark Lamb of Arizona is scheduled to appear at the Scottsdale Public Library on Friday, April 14, along with Kirk Cameron and others, for a story hour program for families and children.\u00a0<\/span> (Sheriff Mark Lamb\/Brave Books)<\/span><\/p>\n The plot involves “some local corruption,” he said, as a “mayor tries to instill fear into people. It isn’t until [the characters in the book] do some critical thinking and ask some key questions that they’re able to discover that things aren’t what they were made out to be.”<\/p>\n Added Lamb, “I think that is very applicable to today’s world. We’re being fed things that aren’t always what they appear to be.”<\/p>\n Lamb on Monday declared his candidacy for the Senate in a statement filed to the Federal Elections Commission. <\/p>\n An outspoken critic of President Biden’s immigration policies, Lamb has also earned recognition across Arizona and nationally for his opposition to the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate<\/u><\/a> in 2021 and his support of former President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Sara Carter’s new children’s book,<\/a> published by Brave Books, stresses the importance of rules, laws and process, something she feels kids must know and that parents and families must stress.<\/p>\n “This book, especially for children, is really from the heart, because there are so many children who are being affected every day by illegal trafficking and the failure to follow the law and to follow rules,” she said in a recent phone interview with Fox News Digital. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
