In this inspiring episode of Beyond the Book with JoAnn Dickinson, I sat down with Dr. Latonya Peterson, author, educator, and community leader, to explore how storytelling can be a powerful tool for building emotional resilience and self-confidence in children.
With deep roots in Georgia and a career dedicated to leadership and justice, Dr. Peterson and her husband co-author heartfelt children’s books that blend adventure with Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
We discuss the inspiration behind their writing, the impact of their work in the classroom, their community, and their mission to shape the next generation of compassionate kids.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, or aspiring author, this episode will uplift and empower you.
🎧 Tune in to learn more about how this family is helping their community and others to thrive.
