A Tale of Two Towns

More about the book

Two nobles are entrusted with building settlements on identical lands at the edge of the world. But legend has it that a dragon will strike each town in 10 year's time. Who will secure their land and earn the right to rule? Within the pages of A Tale of Two Towns, two parallel tales unfold, with one unfolding on the left-hand pages and the other on the right.Each page turn encompasses one year in each town.With the passage of time, the impacts of decisions made by each noble are revealed. And their once-identical lands transform based on their personal motivations and wisdom. A Tale of Two Towns is a book to inspire your children (aged 4+) to become thoughtful decision-makers through the comparative telling of two narratives. The consequences of each, coupled with the lessons woven within the words will show your child the compounding effects of decisions, and delaying short term gratification for greater rewards later - essential skills that lead to high probabilities for success in all areas of life. It is shown that children that don't master these skills later face issues with academic performance, low impulse control, financial difficulties, and low levels of persistence in pursuits. A Tale of Two Towns' interwoven lessons provides you with a resource to initiate a conversation to actively teach and encourage your child to develop crucial life skills
