About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels discouraged by their physical size or is struggling with an inflated sense of ego. It is a wonderful tool for teaching that true power comes from discipline and humility rather than outward appearance or bravado. The story follows Forever Mountain, a champion wrestler who believes he is the strongest man in Japan, only to meet three generations of women who are significantly stronger than him. Through humorous training sessions, he learns that there is always more to learn and that strength is a family legacy. This Japanese folktale is perfect for elementary-aged children, offering a lighthearted but profound look at self-improvement and respect. Parents will appreciate the way it subverts traditional gender roles while celebrating the wisdom of elders and the value of hard work.
