For example, the first book is titled Becoming Even More Courageous, and it includes major academic subject area sections such as mathematics, language, science, etc. where students apply strategies to develop their personal courage alongside their practice of subject area skills and acquisition of subject area knowledge. Additional titles include such characteristics as Becoming Even More Caring, Becoming Even More Principled, and Becoming Even More Open-Minded.Target audiences:• Students age 8-12• Elementary school teachers, administrators, counselors• Parents of elementary school children• Multicultural – these workbooks are created for an international school audience including a wide range of gender, race, religion, etc.Style:• Not too cute please – we are not adverse to the general emoji concept but these often take on a younger age’s taste. We’re thinking more along the lines of Super Mario, anime, Disney (or maybe not).• Appropriate for entire age range, should entertain an 8-year-old child and still be cool enough and accepted by a 12-year-old preteen• Original and creative approaches, avoiding stereotypes of what a math person might look like, or avoiding having the Star of Arts holding a paintbrush, etc.• Modern, fun, bright, colorful, shiny, clean• 3D a plus
