Carolyn Watkins' books build confidence and perseverance. They can be used as guides to focused conversations with children about difficult issues. These discussions help build confidence in children and enable them to move forward with life's transitions. As children learn to use their inner voice to communicate social issues, they also learn self-reliance and coping mechanisms. Reading and discussing these stories with your children will give them a safe place in which they can express their emotions and not feel alone.
The Knock, Level 1 (ages 6-8) and Level 2 (ages 9-12), teaches appreciation for our nation's armed forces, and gives educators a tool that shows the sacrifices made by military families.
