Ricco Gonzalas and the Big Cats on Panther Mountain — Bernard Albertson

The three stories in this book are typical of the work I have been doing for children for the past sixty years or so. Children are very bright and this work teaches them we are not all alike and that to be different is not a burden but a blessing. In each case the children in these stories overcome adversity and become the heroes and heroines of their own lives. They will learn through these beautiful and love filled stories that not being like everyone else is not so bad after all. Excitement and adventure is there for everyone regardless of our station in life. I have learned a child's imagination has no limits and if allowed they see things and dream dreams we adults have long forgotten.
