FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(May 19, 2014 – Medina, Ohio).

ALICE Training announces the release of, “I’m Not Scared… I’m Prepared,” by national award winning author, Julia Cook, a parenting expert with almost 60 children’s books to her credit.

Author Julia Cook collaborated with ALICE founders Greg and Lisa Crane to create an age-appropriate, instructional storybook that teachers and parents can use as a tool to teach the ALICE concepts to elementary aged school children. Greg Crane, founder of the ALICE training program stated, “Julia Cook has managed to create a child-friendly, non-threatening way to instruct young children in preparing for the unimaginable event of an active shooter.”

Julia’s experience as a guidance counselor (where she often used children’s books to enhance her classroom lessons) and Master’s in Elementary School Counseling gives her a unique ability to translate difficult topics into kid-friendly language.  Cook’s books have been featured on the national news and referenced in such publications as Parent’s Magazine, The New Yorker, The Chicago Tribune, Yahoo.com, dr.laura.com and babyzone.com.
