A seemingly simple tale that packs a satisfying emotional punch\u2026<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster\u2019s skillfully crafted children\u2019s picture book is a beautifully told story that gently encourages empathy, compassion, and consideration. Christopher\u2019s mom doesn\u2019t make much money, but William belongs to a wealthy family. Being poor weighs heavy on Christopher\u2019s mind who takes it on Sarah, William\u2019s younger sister, by being super mean to her. When William hits Christopher to avenge her sister\u2019s insult, he soon realizes he is wrong. But will Christopher also realize his mistake? Christopher and William\u2019s story puts a hearty emphasis on the fact that violence is unacceptable and being mean doesn\u2019t solve any problem. The book is intended to teach youngsters positive values and behavior, and it delivers the message without being preachy. The story is simple and told in a straightforward manner. Steven Brahma\u2019s vibrant illustrations are smartly composed, beautifully complementing the accompanying text.\u00a0 The book makes for a solid choice both as an entertaining story and an introduction to teaching youngsters good behavior. Highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
