“I have been looking for a coloring book that promotes kindness, manners, and helpfulness for my yoga classroom. Here, in clear and simple language, are examples of what it takes to be a good friend/classmate/family member. It’s also refreshing to see plain kids and not Disney princesses/action heroes!”

Hi Valarie,

Thank-you so much for sending me a copy of your wonderful PBS Activities and Coloring Book! It’s great! It was very kind of you to send me a copy.

I hope all is well.
