Overview and
Perspective:
Paula's Perilous Adventure is a fun-filled-- often
moving, story that unfolds in five episodes. It chronicles
the odyssey
of Paula Koala and her friends who are trying to escape
from lives filled with unhappiness.
Paula's Perilous Adventure is
a story that mirrors life.
Because it is a story
designed to teach morals and virtue, it naturally lends itself
to the partcipation of
parents, or other family elders. Insightfully designed
to address the immediate needs of children, Paula's Perilous
Adventure provides a vehicle for
elders to impart knowledge
and wisdom through discussion instead of "lecturing" .
To
encourage parents and children to discover life's
mysteries
together, each episode
concludes with questions for thought and discussion.
Paula's Perilous Adventure stressses to children the benefits
of being responsible, generous, and creative. Not in a merely
abstract
way, but in their
daily decision
making
processes. Children, like adults,
find less need to "escape" from problems when they
have the tools to build effective solutions. |

 Paula's
Perilous Adventure is truly a labor of love. From it's conception,
4 years ago, to its eventual release, it has faced challenges
worthy of an epic itself.
Wayne Anderson, a father of two wrote the stories to address a burning issue
being discussed by parents all over America: The absence of morality and value-based
decision making in the entertainment that is currently mass-produced.
