Praise for this book

"Julia Cook is the ultimate TEAM builder - providing parents, children and educators such easy-to-understand tools for success! Teamwork Isn't My Thing is a delightful story (and reminder!) about the value found in working together and sharing. Kids of all ages need to make this book THEIR THING!" - Jim Higley, Bobblehead Dad, Author, Speaker, Positive Parenting Advocate, BobbleheadDad.com

"I used this with 5year old to help him with building teamwork and character. I read it to him and we came up with ways to help others and build character. I think it can be used as a teaching tool and therapy tool during sessions. Both parents and therapist can align and use this book to teach kids about unhealthy behaviors." - Victoria, Amazon

"Julia Cook does a great job in showing and explain how to hand the teamwork situations. I have a couple of Julia 's books and will eventually add more to my collection. I read this book to my class. I thought it made a big difference in the classroom. Rj is a character who can see his decisions are not benefiting him and he learns to see there are other positive options." - Maribel Charvet, Amazon
