Special needs children are
13% of our public school population. Moreover, Children who grow up feeling
different are at least one in 5, (various sources stubbing single mom, fighting
parents, poverty, chaotic neighborhoods) In total, these children are about 30%
of our school population.
Few folk fairy tales speak to
the needs of these children to find hope, courage, resilience despite setbacks.
Storytellers, librarians, teaches, 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 revised Second Editions now underway,
PREPARED FOR October release.
