Hungry Jack is a call to empathy and action for children: "You can make the world a little softer." "Remember that people can have problems in life through no fault of their own. The world can be a hard place to live. When you feed someone who is hungry, when you help someone find work so they can contribute, when you love without judging, you make the world a little softer." Hungry Jack is the true inspirational story of an orphan boy who runs away, rides on trains with hobos, and joins a circus. When he grows up, he teaches his children the lessons that he has learned: to be grateful for everyday blessings, to seek understanding rather than judge others, to view work as necessary to self-esteem, and to put action into kindness, share and work together. Written by a therapist who understands the need to reach children early, Hungry Jack encourages empathy, compassion, and a desire to make a the world a little softer.
