Lisa Bournelis is a mom, taekwondo black belt, healthcare change
consultant, and former humanitarian aid worker. She has served all
over the world, from Africa to the Balkans to Afghanistan.
Inspired by her child's experiences with OCD during the pandemic,
she wanted to uplift children struggling with anxiety during this
extraordinary time, by showing that they are heroes of their own
stories, and by sharing a hopeful message that adjustments to the
way we think can transform our circumstances.
Louie's world is getting smaller with each passing day. An
authoritarian mastermind has set out to control his every move. To
make matters worse, there is an unknown virus infecting the world,
forcing everyone to lock down in their home.
Playdates, soccer games, and even his birthday party are cancelled!
Outside the confines of his room lies a world of darkness: the
calamitous cracks, the rock of evil, the steps of doom. Even the food
and air are poisoned. As the Dictator continues his onslaught, Louie
worries he will be imprisoned forever in the solitude of his home, with
only his Tales of King Arthur and his anxious rescue pup, Baily, for
company.
Louie's dreams of living an ordinary day are shattered when his
beloved Baily is lost in the forest. With the Dictator and his dark
forces closing in, will he muster the courage to face his fears, lead a
rescue, and bring his furry friend home?
