A kids tale about a missile? Apollo is no ordinary missile and this is no ordinary anti-bullying book, but a wonderful and heartwarming tale about a heroism, creative thinking, and most of all, about peace, communication and how the most difficult of problems can have an unusual and wonderful outcome. When King Grump, leader of a group of angry boars, discovers the Village of Bliss is not a part of his realm, he orders his army to build a missile named Apollo to knock down their wall. A young villager, Iggy, then undertakes a long and scary journey, seeking to use communication and build understanding to craft a peaceful solution. But will he succeed? Will Apollo be launched? Will the bullying boars overtake the peaceful village? Apollo the Misguided Missile offers young readers ideas and tools for communication, problem-solving and non-violent conflict resolution, even with the most unlikely of opponents. Bullying among children is on the rise and it is more important than ever for parents and teachers to provide children with tools for dealing with this increasing problem. Apollo the Misguided Missile demonstrates the power of using group discussion for problem-solving, the value of listening to every group member and the effectiveness of using communication to engender a shared perspective and craft a solution, no matter how unlikely the outcome might seem.
