Readings

The Captain Joe Series was designed as a tool for adults to teach children about constructive imagination. The four books are a fun and interactive way to introduce the concept of “Thoughts Turn into Things” (so choose the ones that make you happy) to young children, ages five to nine years. Joe and his thought-zapping superpower will invite children to use their imaginations to constructively choose thoughts that promote healthy self-esteem and self-awareness. Each of the four stories is designed to teach a key concept.

Book Sales:

Emily will bring copies of her books to the readings for students to purchase and have autographed.

Workshops

I have designed a 90 page Teacher Resource Package with various lessons and activities for the K-3 level. During the workshop I will read to the children and also lead an activity or lesson to extend children’s learning of the concepts presented in the stories. I will provide materials and handouts for the students.
