CAROL'S BOOKS

As an educator, Dr. Ter Haar has interacted with students with great potential, but low self-esteem. The lack of self confidence in these talented children concerned her. She felt if she nurtured confidence and self worth in a student, she would instill a life changing skill. Picking up a feather one day, she thought, maybe this "magical" feather could do just that. This led to "Joshua G. and the Magic Feather". Book includes a "magic feather"!

Joshua G.'s Magic Feather is an absolutely delightful story! It is sure to capture children's imaginations, empathize with their struggles to learn AND build self-esteem. This book is a real WINNER! -- Dr. Larry Koenig, Founder and creator of Up With Youth and author of Smart Discipline.

Carol's book about Chris T., the precious little Christmas tree, has a two-fold purpose. First, Carol is concerned about America's wetlands. She wanted to create an environmental awareness that shows the connection between the wetlands and recycling trees. Carol has accomplished this purpose by drawing the young readers into a magical setting which motivates them to become environmentally conscious.

Secondly, Carol states, "I want the reader to realize that no one is perfect - we all have imperfections but we can make a difference." This senstive and enchanting story of Chris T. with her bent trunk, brings focus to the importance of self-worth and invites us to examine our own special qualities.

When Carol was finishing her dessert at a family restaurant, she noticed she'd dribbled chocolate on her blouse. When she looked across the room and saw a young child also had slobbered on herself, Carol realized life is a rerun.

In Life Is A Rerun, Carol uses humorous poetry to illustrate how an adult's life mirrors a young child's. She wants you to share in these delightful, fun-filled experiences so she presents Life Is A Rerun as a coloring book! A FREE box of 24 crayons accompanies each book.
