The Neverlasting No is a children's picture book written by Eevi Jones, with illustrations by Nina Khalova. It follows the story of June, a young girl with an idea she believes could change the world. Excited to share her good news, she approaches her chatty aunt Tia, who insists that things should not change but remain the same. Her uncle is hesitant to take risks with new ideas, and when she shares her concept with her teacher, she responds with a no, expressing her belief that spontaneity and change are to be avoided. Even her best friend, Clay, says no due to his fear of failure. Despite all the rejections, June remains undeterred and continues to believe in her dream, viewing every no as a stepping stone toward a yes.
The Neverlasting No is a motivational story that encourages children to persevere and never give up on their ideas and dreams. It empowers them with the understanding that rejection is a natural part of the journey toward success. Young readers will be inspired by June's persistent spirit and learn that every no can be reframed as an opportunity to grow, adapt, and find their path to realizing their aspirations. The story is whimsical, featuring fun and unique characters. Eevi Jones employs a rhyming tone and simple language that keep readers engaged. The illustrations beautifully complement the narrative, enhancing the emotional depth of June's journey and reinforcing the importance of creativity and innovation. Overall, this is a story about believing in yourself and the power of perseverance. Sometimes, all you need is one person to believe in you—and that person can be yourself.
