LONGWOOD, FL--Picture and cartoon art has been used for many years to teach themes and messages to children, and in some instances, to adults as well. Within the pages of the new children's book, The Duck That Lost His Waddle ($24.99, paperback, 978-1-60957-538-0; $34.99, hardcover, 978-1-60957-312-6), author Dan Williams encourages children to dream because, as he says, the birth of achievement--and individuality--starts with a dream. As most people are followers, very few people actually use the unique and individual qualities that God gifted them with. But through dreaming, they can learn to discover their gifts and follow Him more appropriately by using their giftedness. This book will inspire readers to dream these rich dreams and will lay the foundation for future things to come.
"The choices that parents make by choosing wholesome entertainment greatly facilitates helping their children learn to eventually separate fact from fiction," the author explains. "When this starts to happen, the dreamers become the doers, and the little playing ones become the little builders. Foundations are laid for where men and women will be made. Help your children dream healthy dreams--you must!"
Williams, a father of three grown children, says that the story of dreaming and doing is not new, but that hopefully it is presented in a new light in his book. "When I was a young man, I thought I knew many things, and I was always boastfully telling my friends all that I knew," he says. But it wasn't until he learned to think and dream beyond the norm that he was able to tap into his unique gifts. It is his hope that the readers will learn to do the same.
