Searching for Help for Special Needs children.

 

Special needs children are 13% of our public school population. Moreover, Children who grow up feeling different are at least one in 5, (from various sources struggling single moms, fighting parents, poverty, chaotic neighborhoods, gender confusion, etc.) In total, these children are at least some 30% of our school population.

Few folk fairy tales speak to the needs of these children to find hope, courage, and resilience despite setbacks. Storytellers, librarians, teachers, parents and grandparents will want to have stories which can speak to the lonely struggles of these diverse children.

A new story has been developed over five years with coaching from special needs children and feedback from professional storytellers and published authors.

Lottie Mae: the Turkey who Could Not Stop Dreaming is designed for these children.  A improved Second Editions now underway, prepared for October release.
