P.J. Day's Newly Released "A Burro's Tale" is a Powerful Coming-of-age Adventure That Leads up to That One Critical Test in Life That Defines Us
"A Burro's Tale" from Christian Faith Publishing author P.J. Day is a fascinating narration for children and young adults about how a young burro finally gains the acceptance he has longed for from the other burros on the ranch. The story is a metaphor that teenagers will relate to as they are growing out of adolescence and entering into their next peer group as young adults.
MEADVILLE, Pa., April 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "A Burro's Tale": a brilliant reminder that God has a place and a purpose for all his creations. "A Burro's Tale" is the creation of published author P.J. Day, a chef in the food and beverage industry who presently lives in Reno. Growing up in the country, he and his brothers and sisters were allowed to keep most of the animals they brought home, provided they cared for them. The most valuable lesson they learned was that you were responsible for what you tamed. Not merely for food, water and shelter, but for love, friendship and affection.
Day shares, "The setting for A Burro's Tale is in fact the Tesuque Valley, where I grew up. Raphael's family business in the story is renting out his burros to the townsfolk who do not have a burro of their own. The burros are rented for travel, pulling carts, plowing fields, and carrying goods from the market. Pedro, the central character in A Burro's Tale, is younger and a bit smaller than the rest of the burros and has not yet been chosen for his first day of work. Pedro's journey throughout the story is really about the coming of age that all youngsters eventually face and learning to take his responsibilities seriously. Kids can be cruel, and Pedro's peer group in the story is no different. In order to gain acceptance, he must learn to ignore the relentless teasing from the other burros on the ranch (and a couple of mischievous horseflies) and work very hard to prove his worth. The story is filled with many valuable life lessons that all kids and young adults will relate to, because they will all go through them one day, or are being tested at this very moment. At all cost, it's about doing the right thing."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, P.J. Day's new book is a heartwarming tale that sympathizes with the young reader on how tough it is to find their sense of belonging. As a child of God, no matter what others say, one's presence is never worthless. We all face challenges in life and in conquering them, find our self-worth along the way.
