A Chapter book for children aged 7 to 10 years old.
A lack of self-belief prevents a child from reaching their full potential. Help your child work towards becoming the best they can be. Billy Field is allowed to act in the school play, but he tells himself he can’t do it. He convinces himself that he’ll never learn all the lines. Feeling unsure and vulnerable, he thinks of all the ways he can get out of playing a part. Instead, he becomes a member of the stage crew, and without even realising it, he learns the lines—not only for the main part but all the other roles too.
Following an accident involving Ant Turner, who plays the lead role, the play may have to be cancelled. Is Billy able to perform the main part? Will Ant be well enough to save the day? Does Billy overcome his lack of self-belief?
Billy Saves the Day is the sixth title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a different topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians, and teachers deal with issues faced by pre-teen children, each topic is presented gently through storytelling.
Setting these issues in meaningful contexts helps children understand the challenges and see things from a different perspective. The books serve as icebreakers, facilitating discussions on complex subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce learning while having fun.
Buying this book today will help your child gain confidence in their abilities and believe in themselves.
