Yearning Yolanda Second Edition

The 2nd Edition S.O.T. Storybooks were designed for venues such as libraries where writing in books; as in my regular storybooks (which include various activities that require writing or cutting), must not be encouraged. Therefore, only the story and the secret coded message have been included in the 2nd edition versions. You can copy the secret coded worksheet to decode the message, if the 2nd edition storybook doesn't belong to you.This story takes you on a short journey with a twelve year old young girl who lost her eyesight in a car accident a year ago. She yearns for life to be as it was before the accident; however, life has a way of throwing you constant challenges that could cause you to either withdraw further into bitterness, or to emerge with a heart of gratefulness. Which one will Yolanda choose? Walk with her through an even harder challenge that if handled with fear and bitterness, could not only take her life, but the lives of her mother and her best friend, Toby (her dog). this story can be enjoyed by children ages eight and above.
