Courage for Charlie Todd Civin

Courage for Charlie is the second in the "A Cup of Kindness" children's book series by Beca Nistrian and Todd Civin and tells the story of a special friendship between Charlie and Matthew. A message from the author: My hope for creating this book is that it can help every child who is bullied. We need to put an end to the increasing rate of suicide in our youth due to bullying. It is the leading cause of death for adolescents between the ages of nine sand fourteen. Society needs to come together and fix this problem. Our youth are crying out for help. What are we going to do about it. We can no longer pretend it's not happening. It's happening every single day. 123 times a day it happens. That is 123 times too many. Please stand with me and help me make a change. I know we can do it. Love, BecaThe story shares a powerful message about courage and using your voice to sntad up when you see another person being bullied. Beautifully illustrated by Artist Jason Boucher, Courage for Charlie is a must read for children of all ages."My hope for this book is that it can plant a seed in a child's heart that will blossom into the change that this world so desperately needs." Beca NistrianThis was the most fulfilling project imaginable. I really poured my heart and soul into my story. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Love, Beca
