Book excerpt: CHILDREN WILL LEARN THE WONDERFUL QUALITIES OF LOVE AND WISDOM (THROUGH AN ENJOYABLE STORY)! A little girl, Amelia, hopes to help the hungry children on the other side of a (Very Wide) river. When her plan comes crashing down, she soon finds that a far greater plan was unfolding all along! And in losing her highest ambition, she gained what she never thought possible. A POSITIVE AND INSPIRING STORY WITH CLEAR MORAL LESSONS. (*SPOILER ALERT*) Children will learn to . . . SEE THE BEST IN OTHERS: Though one crocodile, Ray, is gravely misunderstood, his kind heart and good intentions eventually come to light! Children learn the value of seeing the best in people around them. HELP THOSE IN NEED: Children are inspired (by Amelia's loving example) to care for those in need as they grow up. This is a great opportunity to teach your child about poverty and the value of kindness. MAKE GOOD DECISIONS: The wiser crocodile, rather than simply seeing bright red apples, sees the tiny shiny seeds within. This leads to long-lasting change! Children are encouraged to think ahead and make good decisions as they grow up. KEEP HOPE NO MATTER WHAT: Children will be certain (just like Amelia) that all hope is lost, just before they realise it was only waiting to be found! This will encourage their hearts to never give up and always live in the light of hope. WHAT SETS THIS BOOK APART? This fun and inspiring fable-like story carries compelling moral lessons. This could lead to some excellent discussions on why some children live in poverty or how we can best care for those in need.
