Count Leopold's Badtime, Bedtime, Children's Rhymes Vol II: A Collection of Children's Rhymes With Anti-Bullying Themes

The 21st Century is full of make-believe Superheroes...centuries ago there were also imaginary heroes: Gulliver, Tom Swift, Jean Valjean, King Arthur, Aladdin, Sinbad, Deborah, Scheherazade, and many others. Superheroes...ancient and modern struggle with their values, morals, and the will to defend justice against people or monsters that want to take things from average people. It sounds like they were dealing with bullies and Were-Creatures of their own! We may have magical inventions and technology in the 21st Century...but humanity is the same today as it was in Sumerian or Roman times. Your great grandparents struggled against the same issues and tyrants...as you DO today. So never believe the hype of the media that today is somehow "different." Many inventions today are simply smaller versions of similar things that did similar jobs for hundreds or thousands of years...before we shrank them or rediscovered them. "There is nothing new under the Sun." Don't let people tell you that you are inferior or just a copy - or that your story and your problems are "old" news. You are an original, one of a kind, and the world will be diminished without YOU. If you can summon the courage to LIVE and THRIVE despite Were-Creatures and bullies and obstacles...you can tell your great-grandchildren that in your day you had to walk uphill both ways to school while fighting Were-Sloths and Were-Coyotes in waist deep snow! And then you can tell them how you overcame fear. WHY? Because...if you have saved your life...you must help others to save theirs. Life is precious. Good things happen to bad people, Bad things happen to people... ...under a Crescent, Star, or Steeple. But you always have a choice... Make plans to hoist... ...a victory flag and raise a toast. Winning rarely happens without trying, And living in fear... ...is actually worse than dying. So tell fear to take a hike and say goodbye, Instead...give living fearlessly...a try! You may discover you can run... Because you were made to be AWESOME!
