You Don't Belong Here

What better motivation to engage your kids in reading than to write the book yourself and share your working experience in a simple story with deeper lessons and social meaning.
Well a bedtime story will never be boring after this.
Dad, turned author, had a good idea for his tale set in the animal kingdom and his most important decision was to get a wonderful illustrator on board with the project.
Write wha you know - pest control then spread the love and redefine pest. The unwanted, the displaced and the difference to improving life for the forest inhabitants.
Now you grown ups. Listen carefully what lessons do you see. Now forget about these values you attribute and ask the kids about the story.
Please don’t be put off by the Christian Faith Publisher. There is not a hidden agenda here; no sermonising and subliminal messages. The meaning lies in the social dimensions here. The animal kingdom is not a perfect mirror of humanity but compared to how the brother Muskrats find fresh friends and a new environment to flourish in the forest. In our communities we find many reasons for not allowing minorities to feel they do not belong. Life’s problems for society go deeper than overcoming a raccoon or two. Unless we work together the world’s problems may never be resolved and without harmony, chaos reigns.

This is a cute book with an great life lesson; Never judge anyone until you get to know them. A story about feeling left out and then meeting new people and making friends. Thank you Christian Faith Publishing via NetGalley for the copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
