A little Balooga & a big message by: Animal Gambill
Hi Steve,
I just printed off several copies of Balooga!! Thanks for sharing your book and making it so accessible!! When I am not educating children about animals, I am working with severely emotionally challenged children as a child therapist. I will be incorporating your book in an upcoming therapy session with a 4-year-old girl who is struggling with the concept of empathy. She has been making some progress recently, but I think Balooga's story will play a role in helping her to progress even further. I am going to take additional copies of your book to my colleagues so they can utilize it as needed in sessions with their clients as well. I am always looking for new, interactive tools and activities to incorporate in therapy sessions. Your book definitely will be a great addition to my "toolbox" and the "toolbox" of fellow therapists. I will be careful to utilize your thoughtful instructions when introducing the book, reading the story, and facilitating the illustration process. I think your insightful guidance tips are key to helping the reader make this a successful learning experience for the child. I am glad that reading with enthusiasm and wonder is recommended - this is right up my alley, so I look forward to it! Thanks again for sharing!
