Abby is a little girl that is being abused by her father. She is very scared and confused and hesitates telling her teachers about what is happening at home, especially because her father is also physically abusing her mother. After working up the courage to tell her teacher, Abby meets Ms. Rogers, a caseworker who talks to her, as well as the school counselor, Ms. Billings. Together, they find a way to help Abby get out of her situation and live with other family members in a safer, loving environment. This book is an invaluable tool in helping children learn about abusive relationships and knowing when to seek help. Kara T.

Hi!! My name is Kara T. Tamanini and I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Barry University. I have worked in the mental health field for the past fifteen years and work primarily with children and adolescents.
I work with a variety of children who are struggling with a variety of issues. I have developed a website for parents and children that brings understanding to the childhood mental disorders.
My first book, Understanding my ADHD, is a children's book written in language that children are able to understand and is to help children understand what ADHD is and it's symptoms. I feel that children should be made aware of what is going on with them, as awareness brings understanding and with that we can work towards a solution.
My second book, I Promised not to Tell, has recently been released. This second book is to promote awareness of child abuse to a child and to facilitate the reporting of any type of abuse.
I developed www.KidsAwarenessSeries.com in order to facilitate awareness of the childhood disorders and to give parents information in order to help their children. My series of books will eventually include information on more than just ADHD and will include books on Child Abuse, Autism, Asperger's Disorder, Bulimia, Anorexia, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and information on children of divorced parents.
I love to travel with my family and enjoy reading other author's books.
