“Throughout the series, the creative team’s love of children comes across clearly. The activities combine writing and drawing, in acknowledgment that not everyone learns the same way. The five books are tied together by the common theme of empowerment: let’s give kids the tools they need for self-control and self-determination. Amen.”
