Little Ricky's Ambition

<p>Little Ricky is angry all the time. He wants everyone to know that he's tough and won't listen to his parents.</p><p>Then he meets Phoenix a boxing trainer who not only shows him how to throw a better punch but also shows him how to use the ability to fight life instead of people.</p><p>After Ricky runs into trouble with the cool kids in his neighborhood he realizes his training has changed him and that he is able to handle the trouble without fighting.</p><p><em>When kids are aggressive they are communicating something. They are externalizing how they feel. The illustrations and text in this story show a troubled young boy with the help of his mentor doing just that. This book is of a great sensibility and I recommend it.</em><strong> - Carola Schmidt Springer Nature author</strong></p>
