READERS LOVE THE BOOK


“Before I read a book, I read the front/back cover, table of contents, acknowledgements, etc. I really hope your young readers read your preface and forward because you are introduced to them. They will know you are not a doctor of psycho-cology setting them up to confuse them even more than they are. You are someone who really does care about them no matter what, who would pick them up, dust them off, give them a kiss and say don't worry about it you can do this. I want to keep picking up your book to read. I see how your book is going to be hidden inside a history book in classrooms! That's ok, kids need to learn more about themselves before they can even tackle history that is already well, history!” Starla Allen


"Thanks for your vision for such a needed resource.” Dr. Don Martin
