Sandy Donovan has written many nonfiction books for young readers.
"The informative text and full-color photos of kids navigating
difficult life situations are great for teaching social skills.
Educators can point to the children's expressions in the photos and
ask their students to identify what each child might be feeling.
What a wonderful resource for teaching empathy!" -Natasha Phillips,
MA, special education teacher and consultant for the Show Your
Character series-- "Teacher" (7/22/2013 12:00:00 AM)
This ambitious series emphasizes development traits such as
responsibility, respect, honesty, and empathy and strives to help
kids learn how to be good citizens and improve both their own lives
and the lives of those around them. Real-life topics, ranging from
the specific ('How can I make sure I don't forget my band
instrument?') to the general ('Why does everyone need a turn?'),
are presented in a clear question-and-answer format that is
instructive but not overly didactic. Readers will see examples of
how to cope with bullying, be a good friend, become civically
responsible, and more. Full-color photos accompany the narratives,
while text bubbles provide additional information in an engaging
way. Challenging vocabulary words are not differentiated on the
page, but important concepts are bolded in red, which might be
slightly confusing. A solid series dealing with important subjects
for modern kids. --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple--
