SUMMARY: What do you do with a problem? Especially one that follows you around and doesn't seem to be going away? Do you worry about it? Ignore it? Do you run and hide from it?
This is the story of a persistent problem and the child who isn't so sure what to make of it. The longer the problem is avoided, the bigger it seems to get. But when the child finally musters up the courage to face it, the problem turns out to be something quite different than it appeared.
This is a story for anyone, at any age, who has ever had a problem that they wished would go away. It's a story to inspire you to look closely at that problem and to find out why it's here. Because you might discover something amazing about your problem� and yourself. (Bookjacket)
FORMAT: The illustrations at the beginning are detailed but in grayscale colors (dark and dreary) as the problem gets bigger and bigger. Once the young boy decides to face his problem and comes up with a solution the images change to include more colors primarily yellow and oranges (bright and cheery).
REVIEW: Nice visual presentation about problems and how they affect us and how we should deal with them. This is a book written for all ages -- and I think one that adults would get much benefit out of as well. "Every problem has an opportunity for something good. You just have to look for it." (page 37).
