Peter Veglia – The Girl on the Hill
This is a time that we need to make sure we have great children’s stories that uplift and show the role model that kids can be. We are so accustomed to the princess being rescued by the prince and they live happily ever after. Those are nice, but they are really not the message we want to send. Fortunately, Peter Veglia, a local Modestan has written a fun book, with great illustrations that doesn’t end like the books you have read before. It is interesting, fun, and entertaining and we won’t ruin the end for you. Peter is a musician, parent, organic gardener and a great neighbor and this book needs to be in your child’s collection. Why did he write this?
“I wrote this book to empower young girls. “The Girl on the Hill” tells the story of a young girl who is sought after, celebrated, and ultimately richly rewarded for her own special magic. I very purposefully changed the ending that concludes most Fairy Tales, where the girl marries the Prince, “and they all lived happily ever after”. Not in THIS story. The girl decides her own future and determines her own destiny in a literary twist at the end that will have girls laughing, and saying, “Yeah! I’m going to be like her!”
You need to read this book to your kids, and support a talented local author.
