Charming New Children's Book Proves that Bigger is Not Always Better
Yerington, Nev. (PRWeb) January 22, 2008 - Madam's Mini by Jeff E. Lucier is the sprightly story of an elderly English lady who decides to race a man who makes fun of her beloved Mini car. With wit and warmth, Lucier explores how power doesn't always win out and how small and simple is sometimes best.
Is big better? Not according to the enchanting Madam's Mini by Jeff E. Lucier. When a neighbor with a huge '57 Chevrolet Corvette mocks an aging English woman's Mini car, she challenges him to race. But can her small car really beat his big one?
As a social worker for over 20 years, Lucier knows firsthand how children often equate bigger with better, and how easily bullying can take place. But Madam's Mini celebrates differences and shows children that small can mean something very special indeed. Madam's Mini also introduces children to the Mini car, the second most popular car in the 20th Century.
Beautifully written, insightful, and lots of fun to read, Madam's Mini is as educational as it is entertaining.
