With a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education in May of 2000, I have spent most of my years in classrooms as a substitute teacher, a full-time 4th grade teacher, or as a parent volunteer.  My experiences, working with children of all ages, have given me an insight to many challenges young students face today.  As an educator and writer, I believe that books provide a gateway into children’s imaginations and can offer a safer way to initiate conversations to promote the message the story is telling.  This is a book written to help educate children and strengthen their peer relationships.
