	H.R. No. 132



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, First-time author Larry Phifer has fulfilled a dream
	and earned acclaim by publishing the children's book World on a
	String; and
	WHEREAS, The volume combines rhymed couplets by Mr. Phifer
	and colorful illustrations by artist Danny Popovici to tell the
	story of a boy who finds and then loses a red balloon; its heartfelt
	message is designed to help young children understand the concept
	of loss; and
	WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of El Paso, Mr. Phifer is a real
	estate lawyer by profession, but he has crafted children's stories
	for many years and has long harbored a passion to publish his work;
	he used the Kickstarter website to raise $15,000 to create his own
	publishing company, Storytime Works; and
	WHEREAS, World on a String is the company's first book, and it
	has received a positive response from children, parents, and
	educators in the El Paso area, as well as favorable attention from
	readers across the nation on the Goodreads and NetGalley websites;
	and
	WHEREAS, Larry Phifer's creativity and determination have
	resulted in the publication of his first book, and he may indeed
	take great pride in that notable achievement; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Larry Phifer
	on the publication of World on a String and extend to him sincere
	best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Phifer as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
