Young Mr Scorpion: Living life and learning

By Dan Bogan

Young Mr Scorpion is a children's story about growing up, making mistakes, and learning how choices shape who we become.

Told through a series of short adventures, the book follows Young Mr Scorpion from early childhood into young adulthood. Each story places him at a crossroads: listening or ignoring, owning a mistake or blaming someone else, choosing courage over pride, kindness over control. Some choices go well. Others don't. And what matters most is what happens next.

Set in a rich world of insect friends, forest paths, hill races, secret tunnels, beach days, treehouses and bug-cafes, these stories don't shy away from fear, loss, or consequence. They meet children where they are, trusting them to feel the weight of decisions rather than be lectured about them.

This is a book about boundaries without harshness, strength without cruelty, and resilience built through honesty, repair, and responsibility. It models a strong, kind, and consistent male role presence without pretending life is neat or easy.

Designed to be read aloud, Young Mr Scorpion invites conversation. Each chapter naturally opens space for children to reflect, ask questions, and share their own understanding of right, wrong, and growth.

For parents, carers, and educators who value storytelling as a way to build character, emotional awareness, and connection, this book is a reminder that childhood is not about avoiding mistakes, but learning how to walk through them.

This is the beginning of a journey.
