\u201cPlayground Heroes<\/em><\/strong> has been added to my list of recommended reading for families seeking children\u2019s books that to help support their child\u2019s socio-emotional development. Dr. Franks-Randall unpacks the complexity of dealing with bullies by creating characters and a story-line that feels realistic and authentic. I especially appreciate the author\u2019s selection of strong female protagonists<\/strong> and the support they receive from their family when they successfully make use of the anti-bullying skills taught to them at home and school. The bright and colorful illustrations<\/strong> only reinforce the power of the story and characters. There is obvious potential for the book to be used as a tool to teach anti-bullying techniques.\u201d Mark T. Sweeney, Ph.D., Licensed Professional Counselor, Executive Director, The Capital Region Children\u2019s Center<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
