This book is about hoe violence is never the answer. It has tips in it for teachers and parents as well. This book is for ages 3-6. I found this book at the library. ( )

Never to late to teach children that violence is never okay, hands can do other good things.

Unlike most no-hitting books, this one describes more than one reason a kid might hit, and focuses on other, good things hands can do. ( )
