    About this ebook

    Suitable for boys and girls aged 7 to 9

    Is bullying an issue in your child’s life? Do you want to make your child bully-proof?

    Billy Field celebrates his tenth birthday with his school friends, but Eddy is upset at not being invited to the party. When Billy receives a special present from his granddad—a twenty pound note—Eddy finds out, and wants it for himself. Using bullying tactics Eddy takes the money leaving Billy devastated. And worse, Billy feels he has to keep the loss a secret from his parents and granddad.

    Max, Billy’s best friend's sister, wants to help Billy, and tells Billy's granddad. Max and Granddad hatch a plan to get the money back, and ensure the bully gets what's coming to him!

    Billy Has A Birthday is the first title of eight in the Billy Books series. Each title addresses a different topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, value of money, and secrets—and are written to entertain children while helping parents, guardians, or teachers discuss the topics covered. The author is committed addressing negative behaviours, and developing positive values akin to the Value-based Education program championed by Dr. Neil Hawkes, and supported word-wide by UNESCO.

    Buying this book today will support your child in the battle against bullying; a loathsome negative behaviour.

    Author

    James Minter

    I am a dad of two grown children, and a stepfather to three more. I started writing five years ago with books designed to appeal to the inner child in adults - very English humour. My daughter Louise, reminded me of the bedtime stories I told her, and suggested I write them down for others to enjoy. I haven't yet, but instead I've written eight tiles in the Billy Books series for 8 to 11-year-olds boy and girls. These are traditional stories addressing negative behaviours, but with positive outcomes. Although the main characters Billy, Ant and Max are made up, Billy's dog, Jacko, is based on our much-loved family pet, who, with our second dog Malibu, caused havoc and mayhem to the delight of my children and consternation of me. Prior to writing, I was a college lecturer, and later worked in the computer industry, at a time before smartphones and tablets, when computers were powered by steam, and stood as high as a bus. I believe in, and strongly support the values based education program founded by Dr Neil Hawkes being introduced to UK and world-wide schools.
