Wobbly as he embarks on a journey that not only teaches us how to
embrace our uniqueness but he reminds us of how to be kind to
ourselves. When we address these reminders head-on, the power of a
being kind brings us together. Wobbly Willie’s differences help
identify and bring awareness to what it truly means to be kind to
one another. This book will help redirect the behavior and mindset of
children who are having difficulty understanding the value of
Kindness, which results in a community that now is aware of the
valuable life skills necessary in order to make a positive impact for
generations to come.
Review
The Story of Wobbly Willie Cranford is a little tale told in a simple rhyming style that children will enjoy. Wobbly Willie is a bit different. He's a short, stout fellow who walks in a unique rocking fashion. Wobbly Willie is happy and confident because he has always received love and acceptance from the people around him.
This is the simple message of this little book: that kindness can create a world where everyone can be happy being themselves. Nobody else in town looks like Willie, but it doesn't matter because they accept him just as he is.
Too often those on the receiving end of bullying are told that they just need to toughen up and not let it get to them. Fat kids in particular are often mercilessly bullied and then told by adults that the bullying is "for their own good" and they should use it to motivate themselves to lose weight. Internalizing this message leads to lives destroyed by eating disorders and self-loathing.
As someone who has lived with an eating disorder since I was twelve years old (I am now 55) and with self-loathing for most of my life, I dearly hope that the messages in this book, both the message of self-acceptance and the message of accepting others as they are, reach their target audience.
I wish that no other child would ever have to know the pain that I have known, but I fear that we have a long way to go. This book gives me hope that at least some people are trying to make positive changes. Nobody's appearance should ever be made the subject of ridicule.
I give The Story of Wobbly Willie Cranford five out of five stars and hope that its message makes a much-needed impact on the world.

Richard
Quisenbury (Coach Quis) has achieved and is still in pursuit of every
dream he has set his mind to, including graduating from college,
becoming a principal, driving across the country, learning many
hobbies, traveling out of the country, falling deeply in love,
creating a beautiful family, and identifying his life purpose, to
name but a few.
With
over 40 years of experience in the educational industry, Coach Quis
is just as passionate today, as he was on his first day, about
developing tomorrow’s personal and professional leaders. As said by
Coach Quis, “If you want a different result, you must be willing to
first take a different action. With the near epidemic proportions of
unhappy employees, the need for personal and professional integration
has never been more imminent.”
Note
that he didn’t say work/life balance; he believes such a thing is
both impossible and undesirable for we spend a disproportionate
amount of our time working. Instead, the goal is to integrate all
aspects of life so we thrive at our careers & our personal lives
equally as well, where we aren’t leaving a part of us behind as we
spend our days at work wishing we were somewhere else… anywhere
else; or trying to be home with our children while distracted by the
things not getting done at work. Instead of balance, it’s the power
of presence we seek.
