Groccolli (ePub)

The first rule of writing a children's book is: don't write a children's book! Unless you've raised children as a parent or guardian, and then it doesn't matter whether you failed at it or succeeded. Today's children are the parents, leaders and managers of tomorrow; therefore, you want to use your writing to make a positive impact on their development.

Young ones often enjoy bedtime stories, and historically, it has always been an effective way to put their curious minds to rest before they doze off at the end of an active day. As caretakers (and that's what parents and guardians are), we need to embrace each moment.

Bedtime stories promote a child's mental and social development in a subtle but effective way, not just by letting them finish their day with a smile on their face. It is also a creative way to help them absorb moral values. So, read your child a bedtime story as regularly as you can!

With this in mind, please allow me to present Groccolli to your child. Groccolli means 'possibilities' and, sure enough, this is a bedtime story with attitude! The 'attitude' comes from the fact that most kids' stories are told in a way to excite the children enough to get them off the parents' case as it were so the parents can carry on with other matters. However, this tale comes with a spin by focusing more on teaching values than on telling an exciting story simply to tickle young ears. Of course, this story is also electrifying and memorable. More than just handing out an exciting reading adventure to our dear little ones, we want to teach them values. That's where Groccolli comes into the equation. It highlights the importance of tidiness and obedience to parents which leads to a life of dignity and self-belief.
