The Truth About Monsters
John and Andrew Shute are a father and son team (Andrew being a sixth-grader) who collaborated together with illustrator, Justine Beech, to create "The Truth about Monsters." It's a children's book about overcoming monsters through forgiveness. And grown-ups seem to find it just as touching as the kiddos do -- for it's a heartfelt story about how all of us can become a monster little by little if we don't keep our hearts free.
The Shute family seems to be starting a legacy. John Shute reports that the second book will be out this summer, though this time he's asked his 2nd child, Benjamin, a nine-year old, to join him to write about a "boy who keeps track." With four boys and Dad, there's plenty of material coming your way over the next few years".
