Children have to experience difficult situations in order to learn for themselves who they are. In the story, Billy is given an opportunity to act in the school play, but he tells himself he cannot do it. He convinces himself that he's not good enough, and that he'll never remember all the lines. He feels so unsure of himself and vulnerable, that he thinks of all the ways he can get out of playing a part. Instead opts to be a member of the stage crew, but he is very capable. By attending the rehearsals, unbeknownst to him, he learns the lines for all parts. When his best friend Ant, who is due to play the lead, has an accident, Billy finds that he has no option but to save the day and play the main part. By digging deep into his resources, and becoming his superhero, he realises that he is capable, and that he does have the ability.
Billy Saves The Day is the sixth title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic--bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented gently through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun.
Buying this book today will assist your child in developing self-confidence, and seeing how they can overcome a lack of belief in themselves.
