Our past interview with Naomi was based on this book. Listen here.





Name That Book!

Naomi Drew, a nationally known expert on conflict resolution and peace-making who we just interviewed for a second show called "Take a Stand Against Bullying", is coming out with a new book! She says the working title, The Ultimate Guide to Helping Kids Deal With Anger, Conflict, and Bullying: 100 Plus Activities for Elementary Educators, is a tad long and she would like a shorter one. Send us your idea for a new title and you can be the first to get a free copy of the book when it comes out - if yours is chosen!

About the book (to get your creative juices flowing!):

Naomi chatted with children in grades 3 through 5 about bullying and shares ways to stand up to bullies and help your kids. The book is filled with teacher-friendly activities to start each day with and is intended to create a culture of compassion, kindness, and respect in classrooms and beyond.
