Junior Reading Books, Volume 2, was written to inspire, encourage, and uplift the young reader. I try to deal with problems that young people face. I encourage young readers to interact with their parents and gain knowledge of how to handle problems they may face. One of these stories, "Yes, Words Can Hurt," is about a young girl who is teased by others for being overweight. The story titled "Why do Babies Cry," is about a child and his parents facing a diagnosis of Leukemia. There are several other stories included in this volume. I hope you and your children will enjoy them.
