When we think of children’s books, what comes to mind? Odds are the first thoughts are fairytales, nice stories with unrealistic problems, little pigs, and everything in between. The problem with this is that children of all ages are facing real-world issues every day, that may not be pretty — but the comfort of a relatable hero could be just what they need to persevere. Scott Hewitt, a seasoned animator who has worked with world-renowned studios, is on a mission to change the face of children’s entertainment with his new book Skullboy and the Leap Of Faith, the premier title for Skullbrain Books.
As the leaves change and autumn swiftly approaches, children everywhere are breaking out their favorite spooky books and films to coordinate their visits from their favorite fictional characters. Skullboy and the Leap of Faith takes a fun, engaging, and spooky twist on presenting life’s struggles while providing an encouraging, healthy, and tangible roadmap to navigating the storm. Skullboy has captivated audiences around the world with his authenticity, wit, and heroism in helping children understand complex situations with complex emotions.
Understanding that children deserve to be taught how to manage real-life circumstances, Scott Hewitt takes inspiration from his own life struggles and triumphs and wraps them into an easily digested format full of fun and adventure. Skullboy is the hero that kids can turn to, to help them overcome the darkness and hardships they may be facing in their own lives. Unlike any other children’s book on the market, Skullboy and the Leap of Faith breathes life into messaging that is applicable for both adults and children and proves that perseverance and resilience are always worth it.
‘If you rearrange the letters in “Leap Of Faith” it spells “A Path Of Life”‘, something I discovered on my own and the integral message to this story; meaning if there’s a path in life you want to take — it needs a leap of faith.” – Scott Hewitt, Author
Through proof of concept, dedication to the craft, and unwavering commitment to inspiring and motivating kids around the world; Scott Hewitt’s purpose-driven vision has come to fruition with Skullboy and the Leap of Faith. Skullbrain Books has launched a crowdfunding campaign to take the Skullboy series to a new level — printing new runs of Skullboy and the Leap of Faith and preparing the next book in the 10-book series.
