Children face doubt in every part of their lives.  What will I wear?  How long will I have to wait?  Did I do it right?  These doubts allow us to face our insecurities and teach us how to choose, learn, and grow as we decide what paths to take in life.  Doubt is an intelligent approach for children from their own point of view that combines subtle humor with a little bit of irony to reassure the reader that we all cope with like unknowns.  Through a warm combination of colors, Pia Valentinis illustrates these common self-doubts through animals, each asking a simple question that creates a comfortable atmosphere where the reader is presented with different ways of dealing with them.  Doubt is a part of life, what makes us human, and in a world where we are pressured to be perfect, it is a healthy lesson to learn that the world can be wrong, that we are at liberty to change our minds, and that it is okay to stop and question, because "I always have so many doubts . . . Don't you?" 

Recommended for ages 4-8 years, but a provocative and comforting book for any age.

About the Author:

By Wulf Hein.

Do you want to bulid a real bow for yourself?  This book shows you how to do it, explained in simple terms and with a lot of pictures.  Arrows, bowstring and quiver, of course, are found here too.  And a short course on where and how to shoot with it safely.  How long have bows and arrows existed?  An excursion into history tells you about it.

For children starting at 8 - 12 year old and everyone who wants to get started building their own, we recommend the 'bent stick' model inside the book with simple arrows.

To build the Stone Age bow Homegaard with matching arrows, you should be a bit older and/or have a big helper.

Both bows and the accessories can also be built as a project in a youth group or as a school project.

Archery with a simple device hones concentration and is a recreational sport for big and small, since the entire family can participate. Building your bow and the accessories yourself can be the beginning of your own personal adventure.
