Description: There could not be a better time to inspire
children to follow their dreams and to keep believing. Da Goodie Monsta
is a tale about a little boy named Shaka who lives in a village where a
mythical creature is rumored to enter the dreams of sleeping children to
chase dem nightmares away. Shaka is disappointed because he has
dreamless nights and he becomes determined to meet the woolly hair
monster who part lion, part dragon, and part bird with roller skates.
Author Robert Peters says, Da Goodie Monsta was written when his son,
Robert Jr. was only three. Robert Jr. woke up from a nap and told him of
a dream he had about a monster. Did he scare you? His dad asked. No!
Replied Robert Jr., he was a good monster. He paused as if to recall the
memory - Da Goodie Monsta - he said cheerfully. Robert Jr. went on to
describe a creature that was part lion, part dragon, and part bird, with
roller skates. Eyes wide, face serious he spoke about a monster that
protects you, a monster that chases nightmares away. His explanation is
what inspired this story. The author Robert Peters wrote the book and
created its one-of-kind illustrations that interpret the dream his son
had that day. The artwork of masterful etching in colorful halftones
shades express the mood and timeline, providing both mystery and
intrigue for readers. The theme is not just about being a dreamer, but
having the courage to do what it takes to make your dream a reality and
in the end you may discover that your dream has been following you.
Wiggles Press is happy to bring this story of courage, determination and
dreaming to children around the world. |
