What are readers saying about this book
"I was stopped in the hall by one of our Intervention teachers who shared how enthusiastically our students have been reading your books. She expressed amazement that she has actually had to ask students to put your book away, since that’s all they want to read. She has noticed many of the 3rd through 5th graders reading No Bandanas for Me and her excitement was evident. Several of our parents applauded us for purchasing your book for our students since they recognize that gang activity is a growing problem in this community. I am pleased that your book is available to touch young lives. Thank you for writing your book and thank you for patiently working with our school so that we could make this worthwhile purchase. Have a great day! Louis Barnett, School Social Worker"
