A book such as this indicates the dismal way our society has been working. Not long ago child sexual molestation was a nonissue. Yet, these modern days created a shift, where many child sexual predators are uncovered on the news. In the same way as we would point out in the concluding letter to parents, protecting our children is our primary advocacy.
A book such as this indicates the dismal way our society has been working. Not a single issue has been known about child sexual molestation in the past years. However, changes have turned our world around and numerous publications have several faces of child sexual predators shown to the public. As aptly stated in the concluding letter to parents, we want to be proactive in protecting our children.
Samuel Learns to Yell and Tell is a full color book that shows how a mother forewarns her son concerning how five sexual corruptions will be indicated in his future life. The first is when Samuel’s playmate showing his private and soliciting Samuel to also show his. Samuel’s Mother would advice, “Now you know my little Samuel This is truly bad. Even if he is your friend it makes God very sad. So, I ask you now, Samuel son, Will you think it’s all in fun? Will you stay, or will you run?” To Samuel, he will indeed run!
The second is clearly the most serious of the five. A certain friend or family member is becoming a part of the family but deceivingly wanting to sexually abuse Samuel and influence him not to run and tell. “Will you do just as he says and keep his evil secret? or will you run and tell and yell? Will you be brave, my Samuel?” The goal in each situation is to make the deed public for, as is stated in the letter to parents at the end, “A child predator loses his power when he loses his cover.”
An invitation to pornography makes the third. The fourth is much like the first where Samuel is enticed to see each other’s private but the boy is much older and Bullied Samuel never to tell. The last focuses on the impious imaginations that Samuel might be encountering in the future. In each case, Samuel is encouraged to tell his parents what has happened. He is not to heed threats or keep “little secrets” between friends.
The book shows that Samuel is never told why it is wrong to be involved in sexual molestation and how he must interact with the other person in the situation. Primarily, he is educated on how to recognize a certain condition and what he needs to do, simply running and telling his parents on the situation.
The advice conversation is shown through a simple poem with a loose rhyming ruse. The pages are in full color watercolor drawings that make it more lively and eye-catching even to children. A mother’s love for her son is shown on how she wanted to protect him from sexual molestation that can produce a great impact to his future life. Samuel’s reaction is also indicated. In case any of the five conditions occur, Samuel affirms to simply run, yell and tell.
The last two pages, written to parents, are timely and wise. They present information on how to identify molesters and where they might come around in every child’s life as well as how to recognize the detrimental actions they might do. Still, they advise people not to live in fear. We are not to mistrust everyone. Neither are we to avoid being friendly with children for fear we will be misunderstood. But, we still need to be more cautious and not involve ourselves in situations that are leading to suspicions. In addition, we as parents must let our children be informed on these predicaments as these are too serious for them to handle. Through reading this book to them every now and then will give them the idea on the possible situations as well as the response they need to do.
Sara Sue Really Learns to Yell and Tell is a sequel intended for little girls that is planned to be published. Hopefully No Greater Joy will also produce similar materials addressed to older children as well.

The Price Of Paralyzing Fearfulness
Potent emotions in charged situations produce visceral reactions which are not thought out or considered. The emotions take over and prevent the individual from responding intellectually. Whether you are dealing with a child that is excited over a gift, a prospective bride that has just received her engagement ring, an athlete that is still celebrating his recent win, or an individual that has just landed in a life-and-death situation, this reality is in play.
