Synopsis "Stevie Tenderheart Billy Jack: The Great Escape"
The two most important days in your life arethe day you are born and the day you find out why. Mark Twain Summary: Based on sparkles of truth. This is the author's first novella. The number one thing "Stevie" disliked more than anything else in the whole-wide-entire-world was being sent to bed while it was still daylight. Nor was he very fond of his name. Something had to change. Stevie hatches a 'brilliant' plan to extend the day for more summertime play and change his name along the way. A chaotic neighborhood mess ensues, teaching 'Billy' a valuable lesson about consequences! This seminal work is destined to become a classic: A warm and 'tenderhearted' story of gladness and adventure abound in this amazingly crafted story-perhaps the greatest 'escape story' ever told-from a child's perspective. This story will leave you and your kids in stitches. Giggles Assured. This book will get boys reading again!#Cowboy Promise Written for 10-year-old men AND the kid still inside you! There are (stories within stories) about the importance of having the right name in life, as is one's destiny. There are rich, yet subtle, lessons throughout, in childhood accountability, independence, responsibility (financial and personal), as well as the importance of developing a good work ethic, punctuality, dressing for success, consequences, and heroic acts. All without being preachy-as kids listen (and learn) better that way. There are also funny stories about alarm clocks, strawberry fields, amusement parks, carnival rides, and specifically, roller coasters, banana splits, marbles, and playground first crushes, as well as, athletics, sportsmanship, first cars and fast cars. It's a truly wonderful story that will be treasured and read many, many times-just like great movies are watched over and over again. That's a fact Jack! Available as an Audiobook: (The paperback however, has additional stories, delivering a fuller enjoyment experience.) Author's InsightThe author uses a little misdirection, or leg-pulling, in his books, which is his nature, coming from a comic strip background. He feels this adds to the flavor and fun of his bedtime stories immensely. He believes his tongue-in-cheek writing style resonates with children's funny bones. Stevie books are perfect for Bright Eyes & Toothless Grins. They appeal to positivity, kindness and a general feeling of self-confidence and well-being. They are meant to be read ONLY at bedtime as a prelude to sweet dreams. The gentle cadence and leg-pulling quiet the noises of the day, helping children feel silly, safe, (loved & cozy) at bedtime. ZZZzzz Dispensing with "He said, She said," dialogues, Stevie's storytelling is easy to read and follow helping parents put their children to bed on time, every time, guaranteed! Just be mindful when you say, "It's Stevie time." They will likely hear, "It's TV time." And that's on you. Note: (1/2) This is the forerunner to the Award Winning {Abridged Novella} and {A Boy's Life the Accidental Astronaut} with fuller, richer, developed stories within stories. * * * * * Bedtime is such a tender time...* * * * * Award Winning Stevie Tenderheart Books for the Children in Your Life.
