Advance Praise

“…The story’s premise parallels political rhetoric and anxieties in the U.S. today. Though Catalina and the King’s Wall draws from current politics, the story transcends time and place. It is an excellent tale that can spark important conversations and lessons of several virtues (and vices) common across eras, location, and cultures. Catalina herself illustrates the virtues of love, hard work, perseverance, and resourcefulness, while the king displays the vices of bias, self-indulgence, and hot-temperedness. And as all good stories of prosocial lessons portray, the virtuous flourish in the end, while those with vices suffer the consequences of their thoughtless, selfish failings.”
– Tonia Bock, PhD in Developmental and Educational Psychology
