Mia and Anthony and the Hidden Treasures Book 1

A personal message from the author:

I write on topics that are important to me; on core values that I hope would inspire, educate and enlighten my children, step-children and hopefully others.

Last year, I found a notebook that had been my mother’s. Having lost my parents while so young, I realized that I didn’t really know about my parents at all: what were their likes, dislikes, hopes, fears and even points of view on certain topics? Finding a few precious notes in my mother’s handwriting moved me deeply, and I decided to begin writing so that – in the event that something should happen to me, my children and even future grandchildren would be able to learn the life lessons I want to teach them.

— Joe Khoury

A Big Brave Heart tells the exciting story of what happens when twins, Mia and Anthony, dress up as superheroes for the day. The brother and sister think they are only play-acting but soon discover that they are real heroes, despite having all the fears and worries of typical young children.

The twins’ father presents the pair with a challenge. They have to do one brave thing a day and then write it up in their diaries…
