Synopsis
Rocky Raccoon is the main character and his friends live in the Old Oak Woods. He is a friend and leader that helps his friends make the right decisions. This is my first book of Character Traits that are taught in the elementary schools. Each story of the six traits has characters facing dilemmas that end on a positive note. I was inspired by the Guidance Councilor at the school that I worked at as a teacher assistant. My books are a positive role model for young students to learn right from wrong and be motivated to read each story and share with their friends.
