Robbie the Bobcat

When you encounter someone you've not met before, it's a good idea to give them a chance by showing acceptance, tolerance, and love. You might find out some rumors aren't true and by resolving the misunderstanding, you might make new friends.

Robbie's family was separated from other families in the Happy Forest for a long time. They didn't know others were judging them for things they couldn't control. When nature provided an opening, the young animals start new friendships. Their discovery leads to happier times in their forest. Their actions are a perfect example of showing kindness first.

Ray and his wife are proud parents of two sons. The inspiration for Robbie came from watching their boys grow and seeing how openly they accepted and loved others. Writing has always been a passion and this story speaks to how adults can learn from children if we just pay attention.
