Each series is dedicated to matters of Identity Awareness, Diversity Education, Peer Pressure, Relationships, Self-Esteem and Behavior and faith development. Youth from all over have benefited from the insight found in these CPWD stories which spark diversity and spiritual dialogues of all types. Here's one of many testimonies about the CPWD Identity Awareness Series...The Facilitator's Manual provides workshop set-up information, overall and specific engagement instructions and important content about each book. It prepares adults for meaningful and impactful activities with youth being served. The manual accompanies one or all books and entails both educational and spiritual lessons. It can also be ordered without educational or spiritual content."You address youth identity, but you also get to the very essence of what multiculturalism ought to be. Moreover, you do it in a most engaging and thought-provoking way. My deepest congratulations!" - Carlos Cortés, Senior Consultant, Dora the Explorer, Nickelodeon
