Description:

Illustrator: Victor Ramon Mojica

Follow Johnny as he faces the challenges that being different presents. How will Johnny react to being teased?

Whether you're a parent or an educator, now you will be able to encourage your kids or students through this special book and help motivate all young kids to start feeling good about themselves no matter who they are, or what they look like!

"A well-constructed tale with a beautiful message, "Johnny Big Ears" is a delightful story that all kids (and a few adults) should read or - and pardon the extremely obvious pun here - lend an ear to. Perhaps there should be a sequel called "Sally Big Nose"? Just teasing."- T.C. , Goodreads

"A Very Positive Influence for Children
John Paul Padilla enters the realm of children's books authors with a little book just the right size and length and with just enough illustrations to make the suggested audience of children from ages 4 to 8 years want to 'own' this very positive 'story with a lesson'. His illustrator Mike Andrulonis has provided images that are meant to relate to the children reading this book, instead of 'decorating' the story with wild fantasy paintings. In combination with Padilla's straightforward narrative the result is a book that not only reinforces a child's sense of self worth but also offers a little portable 'feel good' resource." - Grady, Amazon
