What
Professionals Are Saying...
“YolandaBaby is the fun, whimsical tale of a greyhound
(dog) whose experiences are those any child can identify with.
This book is a wonderful asset to my therapy practice, as it identifies
feelings of low self-esteem, the experience of bullying, and identity
confusion.”
-Lisa A. Pattison, PhD., Licensed Clinical Psychologist NE
“In this story Jo Ann shares with her readers the lesson
that in the race for success, only our own negative self-image
can defeat us. The most important thing you can do for your children
or grandchildren is to offer them stability, guidance, and support
while they explore and learn to realize the unique potential self
which is unfolding within them.”
-Lou and Diane Tice, authors and business coaches, The Pacific
Institute, Seattle, WA
