PINKY PROMISE CONVEYS WARMTH AND WISDOM

Dr. Braver's book, "Pinky Promise," conveys both warmth and wisdom. I am reading it to my grandchildren and recommending it to my patients. The author's perspective, as both a psychiatrist and parent, provides a foundation for the enchanting characters and story to teach important lessons. Susan Roth, Ed.D., Licensed Psychologist, Warren, NJ

Three cheers for Madison!!

What a great book! It's told with such empathy for the child's heart and leaves you wanting more. What other lessons will Madison learn? What other characters, like "Honesty" the bear, will help her on her journey? I can't wait to read the entire "Teach your children well" series.

AACAP President Endorses Pinky Promise!

"Pinky Promise" is the newest book in the series "Teach Your Children Well". It is a delightful, believable, realistic tale of Madison's struggle with the truth. With the help of her favorite bear, "Honesty", Madison overcomes the personal pain of telling a lie. This is an ideal book fitting perfectly with the normal four to seven year old child's stage of moral development: the struggle with right and wrong, good and bad, truth and lies. I can't wait to read it to my four-year-old grandson!" Richard M. Sarles, M. D. President American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) Professor of Maryland, School of Medicine Baltimore, Maryland
