We’re proud to announce that "Winnie Acts Up," has received the first-place award for children’s picture books from SpeakUp Talk Radio at the 2024 Awards! This accolade not only honors Pat’s storytelling talent but also supports an important cause: assisting homeless shelters for women and children. This book is not just a story; it’s a movement to inspire kindness and empathy in our communities.
Courage on Stage:
The Role of Theater in Building Courage and Nurturing Confidence in Children
Winnie Acts Up introduces the art of theater and encourages oral presentation to grade school students. Winnie is a shy child in an unfamiliar environment who gains confidence as she meets new friends in a children’s theater camp setting. Colorful illustrations enhance Winnie’s challenge to learn lines, while a repetitive phrase, “You will remember on Friday,” holds kids’ interest and contributes to a satisfying ending. Unique theater vocabulary is highlighted throughout. Ages 6-10.
The story of Winnie promotes important basic skills:
-
Cognitive benefits improve reading skill, problem-solving and decision-making;
-
Emotional support increases self-esteem and positive thinking;
-
Real-life scenarios foster relatability and build a caring community;
-
Safe space for expression encourages healthy risk-taking and personal bravery;
-
Empowerment through performance enables self-expression and acceptance.
