An empowering, entertaining fable about overcoming your fears and doubts. Eight year old Julie is getting ready to test for her black belt in Karate, but her fears and doubts are holding her back - until her Aunt Mary reveals the secret of "Mister D." Who is Mister D and what is the secret? Elizabeth Stevens is a Boston-born screen and television writer-producer. She lives in South Pasadena, California with her husband and frequent collaborator, James Bruner, and their family. For more information, go to MisterDbook.com and BrunerandStevens.com.
This book gives a powerful message in an easy to understand and well illustrated way.
Not just for kids but also for the grown up kids (adults) who let Mister D stop them from achieving their desires. So many issues related to confidence/ limiting self-beliefs and their subsequent negative emotions can be reduced in this world if every child is taught the lesson which Elizabeth has beautifully presented in this pictorial book.
Love the ideas, behind this book. As a mother of four children, I think this book is awesome. My two youngest children are seven and five and they remind me how easy it is to doubt yourself, this is a very difficult time for a little tike, which makes it a wonderful idea to put these coping methods into their terms. Think about it, at this age kids are learning how to tie their shoes, learning how to read and constantly doubting themselves. Great book for this age group. ~Neva Squires-Rodriguez author of the Liliana Series
Mister D and it’s friend mister ‘fear’ will keep showing up in our lives but we should not give in!
The core message of this book should be repeated in front of children plus the parents/teachers must apply it in their lives too because that would increase fulfillment, confidence and success.
