The Soldier Who Was Afraid

GOLD BOOK AWARD WINNER for an Illustrated Book, 2018, READERS' FAVORITE. How can a soldier be afraid, a soldier of all people? Soldiers are not supposed to fear, are they? This soldier was afraid. He feared the darkness and everything it hid. What would it take for him to face his fear and see it evaporate like mist at morning? A parable for our times that deals with facing and overcoming our fears. A picture book for all ages. 5 STAR REVIEW by Music Teacher, reviewer, Bruce Arrington, for Readers' Favorite. This story is well written, imaginative and enchanting. In facing our fears, we may learn that they never go away completely. But it does not matter, as this story illustrates. If we can keep going and not give up, eventually the reward will be there. This lesson is clearly given, though subtly stated. ItÕs an adventure that children will want to relive again and again. The Soldier Who Was Afraid by J.R. Poulter and D.O. Poulter is a highly recommended read.
