A Soldier Brave and Tall Tara L Nielsen

Pretending to be warriors and soldiers, boys are then taught that they already have what it takes to be real soldiers of the heart. They are reminded that bravery is shown through courage, love, honor, honesty, and service. Every day challenges are presented in the form of sadness, handicaps, illness, and every day needs. Boys are offered ways to help and aid others, as true soldiers must. In the end, boys are told to take these qualities necessary to be a soldier and fight for truth and honor in all things. They are taught to stand up for others, to assist in daily activities that are difficult for others to manage, to share compassion, and to be a friend.
