How do I teach my students a Lockdown drill without fear? As a kindergarten teacher I struggled with teaching my students the procedures of a Lockdown drill.
In this book children are protected from the harsh realities of Lockdown drills while learning life-saving procedures..
The Elephant in the Room: A Lockdown Story is a frolicking tale of circus animals, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a fun-loving teacher.
It worked like a charm! My Story created a sense of urgency, without creating a sense of fear.
I decided to write my own Lockdown story.
As a teacher, that reality was difficult enough, but it felt wrong to place that emotional burden on my students.
I became frustrated at the lack of materials available that would protect my students from being traumatized by the implications of a Lockdown drill.

I knew they needed to react quickly and quietly, but I worried about frightening them.
