Hey, do you know who

0:02

the authors of your children's

0:05

books are?

0:06

Are

0:11

you investigating that? Are you looking

0:13

at their books? Are you reading their

0:15

books? Are you spending time with your kids?

0:18

Let me tell you, if you're not, you

0:20

are going to be

0:21

stunned at what you're about

0:24

to discover. Because even in good

0:26

schools, schools where you think they're not

0:28

teaching this woke ideology or

0:31

CRT or whatever that is,

0:33

you know, where there this whole new

0:35

generation of strangeness that

0:38

is happening, even if the teacher

0:40

doesn't have an LGBTQ

0:42

XYZ flag hanging in the classroom

0:45

and is her or him self indoctrinating

0:48

the children,

0:49

the books are. And

0:52

I was surprised because I, and this is

0:55

before I get to the new book, I'm an author

0:57

now. Yes, I'm so excited. And

1:00

it's so important to me because as

1:02

a mother with

1:03

children who are

1:05

still in school, our youngest is 10,

1:08

it just meant so much to me to

1:10

give back and to do something

1:13

for

1:13

the children, right? And

1:16

we have a lot of kids in our family, believe me. And I've

1:18

had them all test out this book, The

1:20

Amazing Club Awesome Sauce, and I'll tell you about

1:22

it in a little bit, but they all loved it. But

1:25

the thing is, it really struck

1:27

me when my

1:29

daughter had a book at school, it was

1:31

about twins, and she reads

1:34

a lot. She loves

1:36

reading, she gets her books from school, she comes home,

1:38

she reads every day. And I was wondering

1:41

because she asked me some pretty

1:43

bizarre questions. She asked me

1:46

about, you know, and this comes up quite often

1:48

because we see it a lot in schools, you know, are all

1:50

white people racist?

1:52

What? That's not

1:54

true. Well, in this book,

1:57

it alludes to that, you know, book that she

1:59

was reading. or there's issues

2:02

dealing maybe with a little bit more than

2:05

I would like her to read, like teenage issues,

2:07

like a

2:09

period or sex and issues like that that are in books.

2:15

And I'm thinking to myself like,

2:16

wow, I really have

2:18

to be like five steps

2:21

ahead, right? When it comes to her

2:23

schooling and it's

2:25

hard, it is hard. It's

2:27

really hard on me because my husband can't

2:29

read read the books because he's blind. So

2:31

he would have to like go on and get the audible version

2:34

of it. And you know, I can't imagine my husband

2:36

reading a chapter book for,

2:39

you know, a pre-teen girl, you know, but he does,

2:41

he tries, he'll ask her about it. She'll

2:43

read the first few pages to him if I'm not

2:45

here, or her brother, my

2:48

son Alex, he was the one that caught the last

2:51

book. And he's She's like, this is just crazy. This

2:53

is a woke author who

2:55

is trying to push

2:57

this idea that

2:59

if you're not a person of color, then

3:02

you're insensitive to people who

3:04

are just because you're white, you're

3:07

an insensitive person to minorities.

3:09

And that is not true

3:11

at all. It is a lie. And

3:13

they are dividing our children from each other. dividing

3:16

our children, they being the woke

3:19

left, this strange

3:21

new evolution of human that

3:24

wants to basically, I believe,

3:27

divide children from their parents and their

3:29

churches and their community. They want

3:31

it to all be about the state, whatever the state

3:33

says. It sounds very Venezuelan, very

3:36

Cuban,

3:37

you know, Marxist style

3:39

doctrine, right? That's why I I

3:41

decided to do this great book

3:44

here, The Amazing Club Awesome

3:47

Sauce. It's joining the Amazing Club

3:49

Awesome Sauce with Brave Books. And

3:52

I found a way

3:54

to talk to children

3:56

about following the rules

3:59

and why rules... are important in

4:01

a way that I think can

4:04

lay the groundwork for

4:06

the immigration issue, for our

4:09

border crisis, our immigration crisis.

4:12

And I did it in such a way and with the

4:14

enormous help of Brave Books

4:17

in a way that children can understand it

4:19

without feeling like we have

4:21

to take them down those roads that we really

4:24

don't want to do with our children. We want our children to feel

4:26

safe and we want them to be happy. And

4:28

I think this book

4:30

does that. And I'll be back to talk to

4:32

you about that in a minute. But first, Allegiance

7:10

I am so excited to have Trent Talbot

7:12

on because he is the founder of

7:14

Brave Books. And like I said, he's an

7:16

author, he's a physician, he's a true

7:19

American patriot. And the

7:21

reason why I was so excited

7:23

about joining Brave Books, it was actually kind

7:26

of there was a third

7:28

person in the middle kind of thing. It was Kash

7:30

Patel. And Kash Patel

7:32

is a friend of mine and Zach,

7:35

one of the guys that works over at Brave Books, he's

7:37

part of the team, Zach

7:38

Bell, he had contacted

7:40

me and said, hey, would you

7:42

like to have Kash Patel on the

7:44

show? It's the book he wrote

7:47

about, you know, the president, the king.

7:49

It's a children's book based on President

7:51

Trump. And I said, of course I would. I would

7:54

love to have, you know, cash on the

7:56

show. He's actually a friend of mine. And

7:58

then

7:58

I said, tell me a little. bit more about brave

8:00

books. And I started talking to Zach and I

8:03

said, I really want to be a part of this.

8:05

I want to do this. I want

8:07

to write a book that has morals

8:11

and values and teaches

8:13

children about, you

8:15

know, gives them direction and and

8:17

some, and I always call it like

8:19

a wall. It's a carrying wall, but it

8:21

gives kids kind of a place where

8:23

they know they'll feel safe. You And

8:26

these are what these books are,

8:28

in my opinion, are doing. So I'm so

8:31

happy to have you on the show, Trent. I'm

8:33

excited to talk to you about this. And

8:36

I'm excited that these brave books

8:39

are, you know, reaching children

8:41

all over the United States. I've

8:43

been trying to talk you guys into making mine a

8:46

Spanish, in a Spanish version.

8:48

I'm gonna work on it with you. But I'm

8:51

so excited that there are children and all across

8:53

the country that have access to

8:56

these amazing books that are

8:58

not only beautifully illustrated, but

9:01

give a moral message and actually

9:03

deliver something to children that they can take

9:06

with them that makes them a better human being. So

9:08

thank you.

9:09

Yeah, well, super excited

9:11

to be here and join you. And even more excited to

9:14

have all of our subscribers and people

9:16

across the country get your book, which turned out just

9:19

absolutely incredible. It's such an important lesson

9:21

on the importance following rules

9:23

and obeying and yeah, can't wait

9:26

to see that get out there.

9:28

Yeah, me too, because part of this book

9:30

and you know, I mean, we'll talk about, you know, the other

9:33

books in the series and how important they are

9:35

and the amazing island that

9:37

all these characters live on Freedom Island

9:39

and and what that means to us. But part

9:42

of the reason why we came

9:44

up and it was a completely collaborative effort.

9:47

Your team did so much work on this book.

9:49

It is not Obviously, this is not just

9:52

me. This is a team effort

9:54

on this book. And it is

9:56

the illustrations by Ali are

9:58

out of this world. the kids. My kids love it,

10:00

my grandkids love it, everybody at my house loves

10:03

this book.

10:04

But mainly it's because I think

10:07

what I get

10:07

from it is

10:10

I'm able to tell the story about the border

10:12

in such a way to children

10:14

that the border crisis it's not

10:17

too heavy for them. They don't even know what they're

10:19

reading is about the border. What they're reading

10:21

is about rules and following rules

10:24

in order to make life better for everyone.

10:27

Not only the people in the clubhouse our

10:29

wonderful characters in the clubhouse, like Kenny

10:32

and Rubble and everybody else. But

10:34

for those that want to join the clubhouse

10:37

as a symbolism of our

10:39

own nation, right?

10:40

And we wanna protect not only our

10:43

children, but we wanna protect the children

10:45

that are being trafficked.

10:47

And I just can't understand

10:49

why that isn't a bipartisan

10:51

message that should be delivered.

10:54

Yeah, I agree. The

10:57

challenge is how do you convey

11:00

that to kids,

11:01

the complicated issue

11:04

of the border? And when Zach

11:06

came to me and he was like, hey,

11:09

Sarah Carter's interested in doing a book on the border.

11:11

And I was like, man, how do you talk to a kid about

11:13

the border? But

11:16

it came together so well. And the

11:19

way that you and

11:21

Eric are kind of creative went about it

11:23

was just brilliant. and really just

11:25

making it about following the rules and showing

11:28

the benefits of rules then that they

11:30

maintain order and peace

11:32

and stability.

11:34

I think Eric was brilliant. We were sitting

11:36

around just tossing ideas back

11:38

and forth and how do we tell this

11:41

and

11:41

what does this mean? And of course he would always

11:43

send me like what his thoughts were

11:46

and then we would throw thoughts

11:48

back and forth but really the idea of rules,

11:51

It really solidifies the whole,

11:54

I think, border problem,

11:56

right? And we learn these basic things

11:59

in kindergarten.

12:00

that we stand in line

12:02

and we follow the rules. We don't run all over the

12:04

classroom. We don't act crazy.

12:07

We have moments where we listen to other people and

12:09

then moments where there's recess, right? But

12:12

it was simple. It's like, wow, we really have

12:14

to get simple again so people understand

12:17

why these concepts even existed to begin

12:20

with. There is a reason for rules. There's

12:22

a reason that we as human beings

12:24

have rules and have structure

12:27

in our society. Is that the

12:29

real reason why? And tell me a little bit about, because

12:31

this is, I never go into depth with Trent.

12:33

I haven't had that chance yet.

12:35

Tell me a little bit about the very beginning

12:37

of Brave Books so that

12:39

parents who are listening right now can understand

12:41

where you came from and where everybody else came

12:44

from with this.

12:44

Yeah, well, I was a

12:47

practicing ophthalmologist. Been practicing for

12:49

about five years and decided

12:51

to leave that career to

12:53

start Brave Books. And as far

12:55

as like why I'll do that, A

12:58

lot of factors. One, I always had

13:00

this

13:00

just strong

13:02

sense that

13:05

we were not giving near

13:07

enough attention to the

13:09

shaping of our youth. And

13:12

I'd

13:13

always just been

13:15

fascinated with just how much of

13:18

our morality, our character

13:21

is shaped by the time we're six,

13:24

seven, 10 years old And

13:27

it just seems like we outsourced

13:29

that to, you

13:31

know, we just don't put near enough

13:33

importance

13:33

on weight on that. But

13:36

five years ago, some things happened

13:38

in my life that just sort of started

13:40

to make me look and give

13:43

Christianity a chance. And then finally

13:45

I opened up the Bible, specifically

13:47

the New Testament, and started reading

13:50

and just had this, I

13:52

was absolutely certain, had

13:54

faith that

13:56

what I was reading was true and that Christ was

13:58

who he said he was. And then

14:01

everything in my life just rapidly changed

14:03

for the better. I

14:07

found my future wife and

14:09

got married very shortly after that. She

14:13

got pregnant and we

14:16

had our first daughter Charlotte in the summer of 2020,

14:19

so peak COVID craziness.

14:23

And when

14:25

she was two to three weeks old, I'm

14:27

holding her in my arms, I'm scrolling through Twitter,

14:30

and I see the trailer for the film CUNYs.

14:33

And yeah, yeah.

14:37

And just, you know, I couldn't

14:39

help but think that she'd be that age before I knew

14:41

it. And that's the type of stuff that she would grow

14:44

up seeing. And then,

14:47

you know, sort of like whenever you get a new

14:49

car, you see that new car everywhere you go.

14:51

Well,

14:52

after I noticed after Charles

14:54

born, and I noticed the the

14:57

cultures attempts to indoctrinate our kids, I was

14:59

seeing it everywhere. Like anti racist baby was

15:01

the number one book on Amazon. That

15:03

same week, my best friend

15:05

and business partner was his daughter

15:08

was gifted a the latest Nancy

15:10

Drew book and there was a trans character was just like

15:12

everywhere. And, and I

15:14

just was just thinking of that

15:17

there needs to be a

15:21

brand of children's entertainment,

15:24

books, everything

15:26

that parents can just trust and that reinforces

15:29

the values that we as Christian

15:31

conservatives hold dear. And

15:34

I didn't think that there was any

15:36

brand like that. And the idea

15:38

behind Brave Books and Freedom Island and all the characters

15:41

started to come into

15:44

my head and as it started

15:46

to take shape,

15:47

sort of

15:48

the adventure of going down this path,

15:51

the Brave Books path, started to become

15:53

so much, so intriguing that

15:55

I

15:56

couldn't stay an ophthalmologist longer

15:58

had to go down that path. That

16:00

is just such an incredible story. I mean,

16:02

it just, it makes me smile because it's,

16:04

it's like you, you

16:05

know, life is not always what we imagine

16:08

it to be, right? We always think this is how

16:10

things are going to go. This is how I'm planning

16:12

my future. This is how my life is

16:14

going to be directed. We think we're the, we're

16:17

in control of the wheel, so to speak. And

16:20

then you open up your heart to something, you open

16:22

up your heart to Christ or, you know,

16:24

to your spirit. And then all of the sudden

16:26

it's like

16:27

you have all these amazing things

16:29

that show up in your world, you know? And I

16:32

mean, you're an ophthalmologist. Every mom wants

16:34

an ophthalmologist. Every mom's like, wow,

16:36

my son's an ophthalmologist. He's a doctor. You

16:39

know, but

16:39

you're not only, that isn't only

16:42

that part of you. I mean, you

16:44

really, you really

16:46

are giving back to our nation.

16:49

Really,

16:49

you're like a warrior in the fight for

16:51

our children,

16:52

you know, giving them back their innocence. I

16:54

do feel that there

16:56

are so many people out there that are just ripping their

16:59

innocence away from them.

17:00

I was thinking about that in church today because

17:03

we're pre-taping this so everyone who hears this

17:05

is going to know that we were here. It's Palm Sunday.

17:08

And I was sitting there in church listening

17:11

to the story of Christ and this Palm

17:13

Sunday,

17:13

the very beginning

17:16

of the, when it leads

17:18

up to his crucifixion. I

17:21

was thinking about all of the people out

17:23

there that are just

17:25

enraged that we wanna protect

17:27

our children. That

17:29

we're just like, no, you can't do that to

17:31

our kids. No, I'm sorry, sterilizing

17:33

children is not the way to go. They

17:35

cannot make a decision like that when they're 13 or 12

17:37

years old.

17:39

No, I'm sorry, I don't want my child or

17:41

anyone to ever watch the movie Cuties. And

17:44

by the way, anyone who made that movie should

17:46

probably be arrested because it's terrible,

17:49

right? Okay, you know how much I love

17:51

my pillow. I talk about my pillow all the time and now

17:54

I really do have a reason to

17:56

tell you how grateful I am that I have my

17:58

pillows, my pillow 2.0.

18:00

my pillow slippers,

18:02

20:16

What made you think of reaching

20:18

out to conservative, I guess

20:21

conservatives, pseudo celebrities or people

20:23

that were out there in the conservative world

20:26

or lawmakers, politicians,

20:28

newsmakers,

20:30

what made you do that? You know, I was going

20:32

to, I was leaving my career as an ophthalmologist

20:35

and the, the

20:38

main thing I wanted to avoid was

20:39

to put my heart and

20:42

soul into something and

20:44

have nobody here or care. And

20:47

so, so I wanted to, I

20:49

wanted to find people who had platforms

20:52

that could help get the word out about what we were doing.

20:55

And yeah,

20:55

we started off,

20:57

you know, taking on some, some

20:59

topics that were very much in

21:02

our culture. And it still are,

21:04

you know, our first topic was

21:06

gender reality.

21:08

And so we found, we found Ashley St.

21:10

Clair, who's very passionate about that topic. And

21:12

she, she wrote our first book and she

21:15

connected us with Elizabeth Johnston and Jack

21:17

Tell everyone what that book was. It's elephants.

21:19

Elephants are not birds. Yeah. Yeah,

21:21

elephants are not birds. That actually is one of my daughter's

21:24

favorite books.

21:25

She loves that book too. But she

21:27

says, mine's the best, but it's just because

21:30

I'm her mom. But that was one of her favorite

21:32

ones when she read through the whole series. Like she has them

21:35

in her room on her bookshelf. But she

21:37

was, and she kind of knew, because she's 10,

21:40

she kind of got it. Like without even

21:42

the book even saying it, you

21:44

know? Elephants are not birds. She's like, mommy,

21:47

It's just like when people try to tell little

21:49

boys or little girls that they're not boys or

21:51

girls. And I was like, wow. Yeah.

21:54

You

21:54

know, there you go. Well, that's

21:57

how learning happens. It has to be.

22:00

it has to sort of click

22:02

for kids, instead

22:04

of just telling them, telling them, and

22:07

hope that they'll believe you. They have to

22:09

sort of, they have to realize it for themselves

22:11

in order for them to truly learn it. And

22:14

art, books in particular,

22:17

are so effective

22:20

at teaching values

22:23

and lessons like these, because it's

22:26

an active form, It's a way to activate

22:28

the mind and get their wheels turning

22:30

as opposed to scream. It's a

22:33

much more of a passive state. You know, everybody knows

22:35

the phrase vegging out. Well, that's sort of what

22:37

you do. You lay back and sort of get this

22:39

mindless trance. But with a book,

22:41

like a picture book, you, there's

22:44

a lot of stuff that happens. But there's in your book,

22:46

there's only 16 spreads. You

22:48

know, there's only it's so that

22:50

the child is imagining

22:53

what's happening in between those spreads, what,

22:55

why, why the characters are doing what they're doing.

22:58

And it forces them to get in the characters

23:00

heads,

23:01

and to really think about some

23:04

of these things. And

23:05

yeah, so elephants are not birds. That was our first book.

23:08

And, you know, not

23:09

for your viewers that haven't

23:11

heard of brave books or freedom island. It's

23:14

a book of the month club in which you subscribe,

23:16

you start from the beginning, and elephants are

23:19

birds will be the first book that you get. And

23:21

then every single month after that, you get

23:23

a new book that teaches a different Christian

23:27

conservative value. And our

23:29

vision

23:30

is for the next 50 to 100 years, when

23:33

Christian conservative parents, when their kids

23:35

hit three to five years old, they subscribe,

23:38

and they get a new book every month that teaches a different value.

23:40

And as the children age,

23:43

the topics age as well, the maturity

23:45

and probably when they hit 9

23:48

or 10, it'll switch over to chapter books.

23:50

And then the chapter books, the young adult

23:53

novels and things like that. And we

23:55

want to do animated TV, animated

23:57

movies, theme park, maybe

23:59

the only... We want to create that brand that

24:02

parents can just absolutely trust. That

24:04

is absolutely, that is so, that's so

24:06

great because that's one of the questions that

24:08

I have for you is like, can we take

24:10

these and then, or you take them

24:13

and then transfer them

24:14

into Christian entertainment and or moral

24:17

valued entertainment, right? There are a lot

24:19

of people out there that have

24:21

these same values, right?

24:24

where we're sitting back and we're just saying,

24:27

wait a minute, why is the left

24:29

in Hollywood

24:31

so

24:33

interested in taking

24:35

our childhood away from them?

24:39

Like, why are they so focused

24:41

on exposing our children

24:44

to things they shouldn't even

24:46

be thinking about? I

24:48

mean, we're kids only for a small period

24:50

of our life.

24:51

It's the most innocent and hopefully

24:54

God willing, you know, there are

24:56

children born into bad situations, but for

24:58

the most part, we hope our children grow up having

25:01

beautiful memories and not having to struggle

25:03

with all of this craziness that

25:05

our world's throwing at them. I mean,

25:08

why do you think that is? Why do you think that the left

25:10

is doing that Trent? Why do we see

25:12

this so much more now than we have in the past?

25:15

There's a lot going on there. There's a lot of

25:18

reasons, some practical

25:20

reasons that are easy

25:23

to imagine is that they

25:25

don't have very many kids,

25:26

but the right does.

25:29

And so if they're gonna stay,

25:31

if they're gonna continue to exist, they have to indoctrinate

25:33

our kids from us. The sexual

25:36

content does

25:38

something interesting.

25:40

It creates a separation from the parent.

25:43

So once children

25:46

start to have sexual type thoughts, there

25:49

becomes a

25:52

rift, just

25:54

a divide between parent and child because

25:56

that child starts to become sexual.

26:00

then they start to keep secrets and things

26:02

like that. And so I

26:04

think that's why it's done is because it

26:07

does create a separation of the parent and

26:09

child, and then it makes the child

26:11

more easily manipulated by

26:14

the content in our culture or schools.

26:17

And then it creates the parent to

26:19

have less of an impact on

26:21

the child's moral

26:24

makeup and ideology.

26:26

I have to agree with you on that, absolutely.

26:29

I saw a small snippet

26:31

of a poster that was hanging in a school

26:34

at one point in time. I wish I could remember. I think it

26:36

was in the Midwest, some school

26:38

in the Midwest, where it said, you know,

26:40

if your mom and dad don't

26:42

accept you as you are,

26:45

like the teacher said, I'm your teacher, let

26:48

me be your mama bear. And it was like

26:50

an LGBTQ, you

26:51

know, poster in the school,

26:54

in a public school. and I'm thinking to myself,

26:57

I would be infuriated

26:59

if my child was in a classroom

27:02

and their teacher was

27:03

asking them to

27:06

let her be the mama bear,

27:08

you know? And I think that's

27:10

why I was so drawn to what

27:12

you're doing and to the great work

27:14

that you're doing. Our children means so

27:17

much to us. I mean, I was

27:19

sitting in church and I was looking at all the kids

27:21

and their families and thinking

27:24

like, wow, we still have hope in America.

27:26

You know what I'm saying? There's still, of course, I wanna

27:29

look at the glasses half full, not

27:31

half empty. And I think like you're

27:33

a young man, you're a young father, and

27:36

you have like this brilliant

27:38

dream that you made come true. And

27:41

it's just

27:43

such an astonishing accomplishment in

27:45

a time where we're up against so many crazy

27:48

bad people. It's crazy, I mean, but

27:50

can we take what you're doing here? can

27:52

you take what you're doing here and then

27:55

turn that into cartoons, turn

27:57

that into,

27:59

I don't

28:00

know movies or I don't

28:02

know. Is there any kind of entertainment park that

28:04

you can make like Freedom Island

28:06

like you know a part of

28:09

the entertainment park? I don't know. Is there any kind of good Christian

28:11

entertainment park? Maybe wherever

28:13

they have that arc, Noah's arc you know the big

28:16

one. You can add Freedom Island. I don't

28:18

know but do something for our kids

28:20

right? Did I just give you an idea? Are you going to start

28:22

a new project right? I don't know maybe. Oh

28:24

and There is one more thing because I

28:27

know, I mean, there's so I could talk to you forever, but

28:29

I,

28:30

I do want to give you a chance to explain because I

28:32

don't think parents realize how interactive

28:34

the books are. And for example, in my

28:36

book, I'm going to hold it right here on this

28:38

page is the brave challenge and

28:41

what makes these so awesome. And we were

28:43

talking a little bit about how parents

28:45

who are homeschooling or people

28:47

who really spend a lot of

28:49

time with their kids, which I hope is everyone out there

28:51

because they're only kids for a little bit, But

28:54

you can work with your children

28:56

in the back on our workbooks, right? And,

28:59

and

29:00

I love it. I love the little cartoon character

29:02

of me. Like I'm just

29:04

sitting there, like teaching your children about,

29:07

you know, following the rules. So I just

29:09

love that. Talk a little bit about that. Because I think

29:12

that added an extra element

29:14

to your book series that I'm now

29:16

a part of that I think was just awesome.

29:19

Yeah, well, you know, like what

29:21

we were talking about with the

29:23

sexualization of our children, how it separates

29:26

parent from child. What we're trying to do

29:28

is just the exact opposite. We're trying

29:30

to bring families together. And

29:32

just one of the main ways that families

29:35

come together when you have young kids, it's

29:37

with a book, you know,

29:39

TV, everybody's separate, they're all

29:42

looking, you know, but nobody's talking. But with

29:44

a book,

29:45

everybody's attention is on the same thing.

29:47

It's on the pages. And it's just fun

29:49

and sweet memories. But we didn't want to stop

29:52

there with just a story and

29:55

hope

29:56

that whatever less than our value we're

29:58

trying to communicate.

30:00

is that it sort of sticks

30:02

into the kids sort of subconscious.

30:05

We wanted to bring families

30:07

together and start a conversation

30:09

about whatever lesson or value

30:11

that's being covered with that book. So

30:13

with your book,

30:17

it's on the importance of following rules,

30:18

we have the sweet story that lays it out, but then after

30:21

we have games and discussion questions that

30:23

basically starts a conversation

30:26

on that topic. And then our

30:28

hope is that over time,

30:31

you do this enough with your family and you

30:33

cover enough important topics

30:36

that eventually your child

30:38

will look to you whenever they

30:40

get to that age or whenever they start to ask

30:42

a lot of, well, kids are always asking questions, but we

30:45

wanna put the parent as the resource

30:47

that kids turn to for answers

30:49

about life, not teachers, the parent.

30:52

And so, but in order to do that,

30:55

you have in order for that to happen, it takes

30:58

it takes work and it takes repetition of

31:01

these these important conversations. So that's what

31:03

we're trying to do with that.

31:05

Absolutely. I think that's that's the truth.

31:07

You know nobody is ever gonna love

31:09

a child more than the parent. You know when you're raising

31:12

them you do anything for your child. You throw yourself

31:14

in front of a bus for your kid. You don't even care.

31:17

You die for your children because well

31:19

most parents should. I mean they should want to love

31:21

their child that much. And

31:24

I just think that I'm so grateful

31:26

Trent, thank you for making me a part of

31:30

this amazing book and this

31:32

amazing family of brave books.

31:34

And I know, you know, parents out there,

31:36

I mean, I don't even, I don't even feel like I have

31:39

to sell it. Do you know what I'm saying? I just

31:41

think parents are craving this.

31:43

They are just craving something

31:46

that is just decent and wholesome

31:48

and fun and allows

31:50

their child to get closer to

31:53

them. I'm going to

31:55

leave this part, You know, what else can brave

31:57

fans like expect from

31:59

the future?

32:00

of Brave Books. I mean, is there some exciting

32:02

new thing like the theme park

32:04

or new books or clothing

32:08

line? I don't know, whatever it is. I'm

32:10

excited.

32:10

Yeah, we

32:12

want to see all of that happen. And

32:14

we're currently working

32:17

on chapter books, which should come out

32:19

probably early 2024. And we're

32:22

also working on our first young adult novel.

32:26

and in time for this

32:28

Christmas, we've got tens

32:31

of thousands of brave

32:33

32:35

book, but we're just getting inundated

32:37

as more and more families

32:40

32:42

the plush toys and more

32:44

merch and things like that. So we're really gonna

32:47

hit that hard this year in time

32:49

32:52

32:56

33:18
