Peace Dawn. Stay encouraged. Publish America is a company used by individuals who want to self-publish their books. It is unfortunate that they didn't take the time to explain to you that as a self-published author you are responsible for all of your marketing. I, too, chose to self-publish my book but I used a different Print-On-Demand (POD) publisher than you. There are definite pros and cons when self-publishing.

In the meantime, join lots of social marketing sites like this one and post information about your book. Also, consider researching elementary schools or daycares in your area so that you can do targeted sales to them. You should start first by calling to introduce yourself and speaking with the Director/Principal or person in charge of making book purchases. Then, follow up with an email or snail mail with a flyer of your book and a description of the educational value it will bring to the children. You might call 100 schools or daycares and only get one response. However, that one response might net you a sale of multiple book orders.
