Many children and teens struggle with low self-esteem, confidence issues and the feeling of not ever being "good enough" due to the ridiculous standards set for teens by culture, media, and peers. They end up thinking that they're fundamentally flawed, even when there's nothing wrong with them.
In this story, you're going to follow the adventures of Harry, a chubby kid who was always made fun of for his weight for as long as he could remember and was deeply insecure about his body. He was particularly envious of Ethan, who seemed to have everything going for him. Perfect hair, great physique, good looks. Annoyingly too, he also had the attention of the girl he fancied.
But Harry had a magical Wonderhand that allowed him to do literally anything. When an unintentional accident with his Wonderhand saw him trading places with Ethan, he quickly finds out that not all that glitters is gold and learns to truly accept himself for who he is, warts and all.
Here's what your kids are going to learn in this insightful story:
Filled with powerful lessons to help adolescents and teens feel more confident and move through life with self-assurance, Wonderhand is a novel for kids ages 8-14 that is designed to teach them to accept their gift of imperfection, teach them how to be confident and learn to love to fully love themselves.Â
