Malia & Teacup First Books for African Orphanage LibraryTwenty-two year old, Lillian Tuttle, a Fulbright scholar decided that she wanted to make a difference by establishing a library in an African orphanage - with only two books, the self-esteem building adventures created by Dr. Molly Barrow.
The children had never experienced a library, did not know how to care for books nor understand the concept of loaning the books. However, the children were thrilled with the tales of African adventure and emotional challenges that Malia, a young girl who travels to Kenya to find her father, faces in the books. The Edith Junior Academy School teachers did not expect one particular boy to pass his exams. Yet, after he read about the character Malia, he felt that he could relate to her desire to be better. He made the decision to study hard with Tuttle’s help and he did pass his exams. Books that demonstrate survival in dire circumstances can inspire a child to believe in him or herself and to fight for a better life. The new Lillian Tuttle Library has changed the lives of over one hundred orphaned children. A journey of self-discovery, Malia & Teacup Awesome African Adventure (ISBN: 978-0-9825109- “A spoonful of adventure makes the psychology go down,” according to Barrow, author, Walden University clinical psychology graduate and psychotherapist. Just as Mary Poppins helped children take their medicine with a little sugar, Barrow uses exciting adventure books to embed subtle positive messages about building self-esteem. “Self-esteem is the single most important factor for the safety of a child. How a child values themselves is the first line of defense in dangerous situations against school bullies, predators, and abuse.” Malia & Teacup books are available at www.maliaandteacup.com, www.drmollybarrow.com, Kindle and bookstores.
