Illuminating Important Values for a Child

Parents must find ways to connect with their children. Children may struggle to connect with their peers and become isolated. A child who doesn’t build meaningful relationships is destined for failure at school, especially when it comes to peer groups, and friendships, all of which are areas that are crucial during adolescence. Making an effort to build these relationships early on will be crucial to a child’s development.

“Life in the Neck” is a book series written in the form of a fable that features a variety of animals that form a bond with one another in a way that is intended to capture the attention of children. “Life in the Neck: New Friends” won the Eric Hoffer Book Award in the Children’s Category in 2019.

“A remarkable book about friendship and how to find the courage to persevere in the face of danger.” These three friends are each brave in their ways, but they keep their true personalities a secret from each other. Their secret is that they know when a threat is looming and will act on it. Each buddy has their part of caution, and they are prepared to fulfill their role when they go into playtime together.
