Trying to inspire children with a role model that serves the community?
Introduce them to Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe is a retired Lt. Colonel, US Army. He's a war veteran and has served in law enforcement for over 30 years.
When his nephew experiences the traumatic experience of witnessing his friend's brother shot, Uncle Joe steps in to help him heal. The war and law enforcement veteran begins teaching his nephew and the neighborhood kids about safety and protection. Through conversation and discussion, Uncle Joe helps Sam and the other kids realize they can work together and build a safer community.
"Sam and Uncle Joe: Learning to Serve and Protect" is a great community-building read-aloud for the family or classroom. Uncle Joe can be a role model for your child and a positive inspiration for building a safe and supportive future.
