About the author

Brian Harold, the author participated in numerous sports growing up in a small town in Wisconsin. Later in life he went on to coach and taught acting classes at Plano Children’s Theater. “Participating in these sports and working with the kids taught him important lessons that he thought would be beneficial to pass along to children today”.

Lessons that follow you through adulthood

In today’s world there are many things going against our children. I often find myself reading stories about children that face adversity and give up. Thankfully with tools like this book we can teach our children that even if you fail, you must keep trying and you will succeed. Giving up is not an option in anything you try. Ralph the Magical Elf teaches children to persevere and that “No matter how bad things look, we must always keep trying and move forward”.

Appealing to all ages

Ralph the Magical Elf appeals to all ages. The bright colors draw you in and the catchy lines make it easy to want to read over and over again. My two year old has been asking me to read this to him every night. This is a book that you will not tire over. A perfect Christmas gift for a child at any age because we face adversity all throughout our life and we must beat it time and time again.
