Some Parts are not for Sharing
by Julie K. Federico
“Travel with a pair of friendly fish as they learn about what parts of our bodies we share with others. Children will learn what the boundaries of appropriate touching are in a very non-threatening way. School Counselor Julie Federico begins the imperative conversation of personal boundaries in Some Parts are not for Sharing. Children will enjoy learning about their bodies as they get some important information from a pair of fish. Parents will marvel at the simple straightforward language and use of sea creatures that create this message all children must hear.
Julie Federico has been a middle school counselor since 1993. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work and a master’s degree in counseling from Indiana University. She is also a certified, level III alcohol counselor in the state of Colorado. She knows first hand the ramifications of childhood abuse. Federico wrote Some Parts are not for Sharing as an early intervention strategy for young children, so they would not suffer in silence. Telling a trusted adult is the first step in stopping abuse.

You can order “Some Parts are NOT for Sharing” at the Tate Publishing Bookstore.

A site that is near and dear to my heart is childhelp.org. Please take a few moments to explore this site, Child Help is a wonderful organization that is enriching the lives of many abused children.

Title: Too Many Cookies

Author: Marsha Lynn Van Dyke

Illustrations: Marsha Lynn Van Dyke

Audio Sample:

Writing Too Many Cookies allowed me to focus on two of my passions.  First, of course the writing.  And second, the battle against childhood obesity.  In the United States there are currently about 9 million children over the age of 6 that are considered obese, and the number is rising!  Too Many Cookies is a fun way for kids to realize that moderation is the key.  In Too Many Cookies, Teddy and the gang go on a cookie adventure, in which they learn an important lesson about the consequences of having too much of a good thing.  It’s a fun story with bright illustrations, please take a moment and read this story, and feel free to share it with anyone you know.

Thank you,

Marsha Lynn Van Dyke
