for Self-Esteem

"Children will connect readily to the interactions between humans and animals and will appreciate the sophisticated vocabulary, which is at once comprehensible and non-condescending."

"The Manadoob Ask-It Workbook is the perfect 'hands on' resource in the Manadoob Program for children. The combination of creative activities and gentle probes enables kids to apply the challenges faced by the characters in the Manadoob novel to the realities in their own lives. With guidance from the Manadoob, participants are taught skills that enhance their positive interactions with themselves, their families, their community and their larger world."
