Donnie Learns How To Do What He Says

Terrence Tullgren tells the fresh and inspiring story of a young boy who learns the value of keeping his word. Donnie promised his friend Billy to go for a walk in the woods, but when Billy shows up, Donnie doesn't keep his promise. His mother takes him to feed deer in the woods near his home. She reminds him of his promise to bring food to help the deer prepare for winter. Donnie learns that others depend on him. When he realizes the importance of keeping his promise, he sets off to apologize to Billy. The book helps young children realize the value of commitment. The story is beautifully told, in words any child can easily relate to and understand. The pencil-line, retro illustrations by Charles Gibson hearken back to a time of old fashioned values as they skillfully complement the text and reinforce this important lesson. The cover intentionally features black and white images so that the reader has no preconceived notion of how to color within, therefore fostering each child's innate creativity and imagination. The result is a must-own book for any child. Tullgren weaves a story both touching and impactful for young hearts and minds. Donnie Learns How To Do What He Says is the fifth book in the Donnie Learns series on values for young people.
