Children ...It's good that there are such books! Children have to get used to tolerance from their earliest age, and there isn't a better way of that by a good inspiring book... A good book/story/movie could help kids and their parents realize the importance of many things much better than any school manual or any teacher! I remember how inspired a friend of mine was of Rocky, the 1st movie about the famous boxer, he woke up at 6 o'clock a.m. to run and train because he wanted to be like Rocky... 2 kids of a friend of mine were so imressed by my Tale Of The Rock Pieces that began to took a good care of their health. Even today, when they are shrewd youngsters, they still do exercises every day and don't drink and don't smoke because they still remember the way of life and many great adventures of the heroes in the book...<br />It's good also there are new characters in children's books, not only the old, ordinary like vampires, kings and princesses, warriors, dragons... I try some new in some of my books (weightless korks, glowing, living balls, Brown faces, fiery men, one-eyeds, night fruit, rock pieces, fish-keepers, etc...).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129753022664172166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456860217724843146.post-32829524362704212612011-01-28T15:54:22.708-05:002011-01-28T15:54:22.708-05:00I wasn't aware that there were ANY children...I wasn't aware that there were ANY children's book addressing this issue.
