Bobby's Story is about
courage and the power inside all of us.
The story is based on unpleasant events
that occurred many years ago in the
author's own life. The character,
Bobby, is constantly reminded of his
grandfather's powerful words of life,
"Wrong is wrong - no matter how many
people do it, and that it only takes one
person to speak out for what is right -
The Power of One!"
After Bobby's parents lose everything,
including their jobs, their home, and
their dreams, his family is forced to
leave all their family and friends
behind. They move to the city with
hopes of finding jobs and starting over.
For Bobby, the struggle is about
acceptance, not only from his new
friends, but his new life. He
needs to reach inside himself to find
the inner strength necessary to make new
friends, live in poverty, and stand up
to the red-haired bully.

story about real kids and real
situations occurring everyday. In
this book, Charlie, Jack's friend, has
learned that one magic word can get him
out of almost any jam. If you get
caught, just say you're sorry.
Even though it makes Jack feel bad,
Charlie's flip and insincere apologies
get by most people until Charlie ruins a
classmate's science fair project and
Jack stands by to watch. Jack and
Charlie learn their lesson when a
teacher makes them prove their apology
by actually doing something. The
book is great for motivating children to
think the sincerity of their words when
making apologies or in their
interactions with friends; but it also
encourages adults to keep kids
accountable for the authenticity of
their words.
