A Story of Vision, Hope, and Strength, Warriors Forever is Four Books in One
1. It’s the true story of what happened before, during, and after what Chicago area sportswriters described as one of the most fabulous two-season success stories in the annals of Illinois prep basketball;
2. It’s a love story about a coach and teacher sharing a lifelong passion for children, education, and each other;
3. It’s a story of great educators getting great results despite disadvantages and opposition;
4. It’s a story of black and white athletes coming together to win consecutive championships while earning the title “the comeback kids” and blazing a trail for ethnic and racial unity in the process — and applying the principles imbued in them by their coach to achieve success in later life.
“When we make the world better for children, we make the world better for everyone, When we make the world safe for children, we make the world safe for everyone”.

“Briefly stated, what I want children and adult readers to come away with is a more generous, trusting, sharing spirit. The First Forest reminds us that greed and selfishness are harmful and that peace and harmony flow from an attitude of grateful appreciation for the gifts we receive and a respect for the need and right of others to share in those gifts, also.
The technique is similar to that of Aesop and others who use fables and allegories to make a point: or element of nature which misbehaves or acts unwisely.
If even one person has a more generous attitude toward others because he or she is reminded of The First Forest by a barren tree, an evergreen, or by a deciduous tree losing leaves in the fall or growing new ones in the spring, we will have succeeded.” John Gile
