Can a Leopard Change its Spots?

Follow twin leopards Leo and LaLa on their journey to help Levi leopard change his spots (heart). This adorable story helps promote kindness, teaches kids how to be a good friend, and how helping others can make a positive difference in people’s lives. This book also helps children learn strategies to use when leopard cubs are unable to change their spots. It is my pleasure to write a book that allows children to discuss conflict resolutions in a fun way with parents/guardians, grandparents, regular education teachers, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, art teachers, music teachers, and librarians. I wrote this book for counselors, behaviorists, behavior technicians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to utilize during individual and co-treatment therapy sessions and social skills lessons as well. This inclusive book was created in order for the reader to not only experience a heart-warming story with a valuable life lesson, but also provides learning connections and activities readily available after the story. The follow-up questions and activities focus on answering wh questions, multiple meanings, synonyms, antonyms, sequencing information, syntax practice, understanding vocabulary, prepositions, pragmatic language, figurative language, and character education. Speech/language pathologists can also work on fluency and articulation while students read this story and complete these activities as well. The follow-up learning activities also include ideas for art projects, a music/movement song for younger children, music activities for older children, and cooking fun with sensory activities!
