Everybody Has a Story Lori La Forgia

"Teachers will enjoy these stories, because Ms. La Forgia has captured the day-to-day sense of what goes on with 8 to 11 year old children in every teacher?s classroom. Parents will enjoy reading these stories with their children, because they will provide an opportunity to talk about the kinds of things children confront in their world every day. Some parents may even have an ?Ah ha? moment as they gain new perspective about how to support their children as they work through life's challenges. Children will enjoy reading these stories, because they provide an understanding of the work of childhood, and offer new ways to handle the riddles of friendship. As importantly, all readers and listeners will have a chance to laugh, chuckle, gulp, and perhaps even shed a tear, because these stories are ones that connect to each of us in some way or another. And from that connection, we all learn something new. Daniel Armstrong, Ph. D. Director, Mailman Center for Child Development University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
