Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Winner at the 2018 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A fun, tongue-in-cheek story for readers of all ages, about the importance of saying no.
Mister Yes was quite accomplished and could do a lot of different and fun things. He knew how to make paper elephants that could wave their trunks, how to do the trick where you push needles through balloons without making them pop, but what he had never learned was to say ""no". If Mister Yes was offered ce cream made of hummingbird poop and slug slime he would eat the whole bowl, although he he didn't like it at all! When a salesman asked him to buy a tennis racket with no strings, he thought of refusing, but the word "no" did not come. And he knew that junk of a racket was useless! Mister Yes was very angry at himself because he kept doing things that he didn't feel like doing, simply because he couldn't pronounce the word "NO!". One day, though, an unexpected event forced him to shut his mouth and... REFUSE.
What about you, reader, do you answer with a "yes" when you would have wanted to say "no"? A fun story for all ages, about the importance of communication and assertiveness.
Mr. Yes could do a lot of different, funny things but he'd never learned how to say no. Even though it made him unhappy, he would reluctantly agree to do things because he would say yes even though he really wanted to say no. One day, the unexpected happened and Mr. Yes found a powerful, new voice. So what about you? Have you ever smiled and said yes when what you really wanted to say was no? This is a fun story for readers of all ages about the importance of communication and being assertive.
