 TEACH TO REACH
WITH DAVID AND MAX
Teaming up to help kids make a difference in the classroom, at home, and in the world.
“Through further research and discussion, parents and teachers can help students search for answers as they get in touch with their own emotions. Through such exploration, children may develop a constructive desire to join in a search for “tikkun olam” – the repair of the world. Using David and Max as a tool."
— Gail Provost Stockwell, author of David and Max
