Dr. Elana Ashley’s Life Journey
SECTION III
As I was zooming along this busy pathway, I decided to put the issues I taught into the form of books for children and their families, as well as for teachers and students. I chose the name “Splunkunio Splunkey Detective and Peacemaker” as the name of my children’s series. The series includes the themes of friendship, teamwork, and problem-solving.
In continuing the children’s series, I noticed the uglier sides of humanity, domestic violence, shootings and the consequential deaths, bullying and cyber-bullying—sometimes resulting in suicide. This pushed me to write the second book in this series - “Case Two: Big Bully Holly Howler” - a story about the transformation of a bully into a friend! This book focuses on a core foundation of high, ethical values and a positive strong character, which becomes the base for how we should communicate and interact with each other.
