| Introduction | I have been a high school guidance counselor for the past 11 years. Prior to that I taught special ed. at the elem. and middle school levels. I earned a B.S. & M.ED in Special Ed. and an Ed. Specialist Degree in School Counseling. I specialized in researching what makes children resilient while pursuing my ED.S. degree and planned on further researching HOW to help a child become resilient at the doctorate level. Unfortunately, I had begun working at a new district where I was contractually unable to take a sabbatical until my 5th year. Still having the interest to help children become resilient, I decided to write childrens' books which would also serve as motivational decorations for their bedroom or playroom. The books, which are aimed for pre-schoolers, are titled: Believe; Laugh; Relax; Love; and, Dream. The team of my niece, Jackie, friend, Dawn, artist, Jan & graphic designer, Kim have been working diligently since the Spring. Presently, we are doing the finishing touches on the book, "Believe." Our goal is to have this book on the market before the holidays of this year (2011) and the remainder of the books out throughout 2012. |
