stories can teach both children and adults lessons that stay with them forever.
The book was published on Amazon on March 23rd, 2023. With this book,
Calvin has combined literary work with real-life events that teach its audience
a lot more than one can expect out of a children’s book.
Children’s books have the power to guide, inspire, and educate children in
ways one cannot comprehend. These books can shape young minds. My
Promise to Emily beautifully weaves together moral lessons and
entertainment—making learning a lot more fun, engaging, and fruitful in the
long run.
Calvin Dudley’s My Promise to Emily is based on a real-life event from his
own life. This is why the book has the power to leave a bigger impact on the
reader’s mind. After an ordinary school day, Calvin goes on a fishing trip to
relax. There, he met a teenage girl, Emily. She must be around the age of
thirteen. There was something about her that captivated his mind, and he felt
attracted to her. After conversing for a while, Calvin made a promise to Emily
that he would gift her his following catch. Well, the catch turned out to be one
of the biggest he had ever gotten his hands on.
Calvin’s hesitation turned into greed, and he did not immediately give Emily
the fish, failing to keep his promise. Although Emily was disappointed, she
still hoped Calvin would honor his word. This encounter made Calvin reflect
deeply on the importance of promises and commitment. Eventually, he did
give Emily the fish, but the lesson about keeping promises stayed with him.
Calvin Dudley crafted something that is more than just a book. He has created
a piece that one may call timeless, not because of the story itself, but for the
lessons the audience will take away. My Promise to Emily is a simple yet
heartfelt book that has been brilliantly crafted for children in a form regarded
as golden and timeless, which is storytelling. Calvin knew that through
storytelling, his story could make a bigger impact.
My Promise to Emily is available on Amazon.
