Calvin Dudley’s first publication, My Promise to Emily, is the latest addition to children’s books, which is not only fun to read, but has a lesson hidden between the words crafted by Calvin—one which is vital for children and even adults to understand and adapt to. The book was published on Amazon on 23rd March 2023. This book is more than merely words on pages. It is a book that discusses the greatest quality a human being can possess: keeping one's word.

My Promise to Emily is inspired by a real-life moment. It was that moment that reminded Calvin, the author, of the weight that words hold. It made him realize the significance of promises to those to whom they were made, regardless of age. The person who brought him eye-to-eye with a universal truth and reality was Emily—a young and beautiful teenager, around thirteen years old. What was supposed to be a simple fishing trip for Calvin in no time transformed into an eye-opening trip when he met Emily during his time fishing.

After they met, Calvin made a promise to give Emily his big catch. However, his big catch was literally a big one, and one he couldn’t let go. Instead of seeing disappointment in Emily’s eyes for him, he saw compassion and understanding in her eyes. It made him guilty. He again promised her that the following catch would be hers. As it turned out, Calvin really did keep his word and gave her his biggest catch, which delighted her.
Calvin says keeping promises matters for everyone. It makes a difference, whether it's taking children out, shopping with a spouse, or giving grandchildren gifts. My Promise to Emily is available on Amazon. Read it now!
