Summary: <p>Kara Peterson has chosen to accept many missions. From warmhearted wife and tenacious middle school teacher, to mindful mother of two boys, and thought-provoking teller of stories, each one was the perfect assignment for that time in her life. Even though she is no longer in the classroom, she still considers herself a teacher. She is also very much a wife and mother. Her latest pursuit called to her when she was very young and she is just now bringing it to life in full color and magical rhyme. While usually not a fan of technology, she embraced it for her storytelling and is loving the new venture of creating apps that bring quality tales, educational games, and through provoking societal issues together, seamlessly. In this episode you will learn how Kara is integrating children's literature with technology and incorporating gamification to bridge the gap. In an effort to answer just some of the many "Why" questions that children have, Kara has released her first in the series, The Possum's Tale. Released in May 2017, this book takes children on a journey to learn right from wrong while learning about such topics as bullying, injustice and empathy to name a few and has a fun app to accompany the book which is available on iOS and Android by searching for The Possum's Tale. She loves inspiring children's mothers and invites them to her Facebook group and to her online kick off event on September 26.
