Produktbeschreibung

Did you ever have an iconic big brother, big sister, older cousin, or neighbourhood hero that everyone admired and wanted to be around? Someone who shielded you from bullies, wild animals, or even your own self-doubt? Someone who bolstered your confidence and made you feel like you belonged? If so, then you had your very own Big Cousin Mike. This series is a tribute to those remarkable individuals. It's a heartfelt thank you for including us in your adventures, sporting trials, and games. Thank you for believing in us when we doubted ourselves and our abilities. Thank you for standing up for us against bullies, animals, and adults who may not have understood the right way to discipline.These unsung heroes have helped many of us navigate the turbulent waters of childhood and adolescence. My Big Cousin Mike offers a nostalgic chance to reminisce about those times in our lives when we either had our own Mike or were the Mike to someone else. If you know someone who was there for you in the ways described, either in your youth or even now, take a moment to remember, acknowledge, and appreciate them. And if you were, or still are, that unsung hero, this series honors you. You are personally thanked here, and know that this series is in honor of you.

Autorenporträt

Michael. L. Pinkard Jr. was born and initially raised in North Omaha, Nebraska. From early on, his mother, renowned coach Wanda West, instilled in him the values of handwork, fair play, and sportsmanship. She discovered, when he was young, that he was gifted in sports, martial arts, and leadership. This gift he possessed resonated with his younger cousins that became more like siblings to him. My Big Cousin Mike stems from reflective stories narrated by Michael's younger cousin, Vernon Alexander West (AKA 'Vee'), referencing how Mike protected and positively influenced him and the other cousins. Now he is husband, father, teacher, coach, and a fundamental martial artist aiming to make a real impact through his experiences, philosophies and education.
