New WHAT TADOO film

This is the fourth film I've written for young kids about child abuse prevention. This one is targeted at a slightly older group (through fifth grade) by enlisting the help of a younger sister to help her brother put an end to abuse at the hands of his soccer coach. Standing up to any abuse is a tall order for a child. Standing up to authority figures is even tougher. That's the focus of this film. Years ago a four year old girl, having seen the first film in this series (What Tadoo) and blown the whistle on the offender was asked by a prosecutor how she knew what to do. "The frogs told me!" she replied. Hearing that was better than winning an Oscar.

This film is available through www.empowerkids.com
