Many people think it is about time that a children's book was published that has the ability to skillfully instill positive and inspirational values. Whilly Bermudez has stepped-up to the plate with his latest book entitled, "WB & The 10 Good Things." Bermudez authored the illustrated book for children ages 5-8.
This is a "feel-good" book that parents will enjoy sharing with their kids. With all of the negative images and stereotypes shown in all media, this new children's book is a breath of fresh air. The author has a writing style that makes the child feel as though they are part of the story.
Parents have marveled over their experience of reading "WB & The 10 Good Things" to their kids. This book holds the secret of instilling, in a subtle manner, a very profound message. Bermudez strategically uses a "grandfather figure," to be the character in the story that develops the message.
"WB & The 10 Good Things" uses a "sweater" as a mechanism to transform a little boy into a super hero. The main character, WB, is oblivious to the moral opportunities that abound all around him. Once he puts on the sweater his grandfather gave him, he becomes a superhero with the ability to fully understand the good in everyone, and how doing good should be done just for its own sake.
In a world where people show contempt for superheroes of compassion, WB must make the decision to not be influenced by the negativity of others, as the kids at school make fun of him. His lesson is learned when the magical sweater is damaged, and he fears he has lost his superhero powers, only to learn that the sweater really had no magical powers, that the magic came from within.
Bermudez has scheduled a book-signing event befitting a superhero. Parents and kids are invited to visit Shula's Athletic Club, at 15150 Bull Run Road on October 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children will have a chance to meet the real life "WB," and get a signed copy of the book. Activities will also be featured like rock climbing and face painting.
It should comes as no surprise that the author has had his share of super-hero type accomplishments. Bermudez is a successful American entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is also an author with a tremendous hunger to help others, supporting various causes and donating to them throughout the year. He is the founder of "Ignite Social Help," a global movement set in motion to help heal and inspire others in the world through the broadcast of inspirational posts and updates via social media, a novel approach to spreading hope and understanding.
