Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
Administrators/Educators, I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! is a
brilliant, proactive way of educating children how to handle
lockdown and evacuation situations. Julia has certainly created a
dynamic tool for educators to talk to children in "kid terms" about
what to do if there is an intruder in the building. The Sheep, The
Shepherd and The Wolf Drill will empower communities nationwide to
improve school safety.Erin E. Bowden M.S.

Applause to Julia Cool for crating an educational story for
students on how to handle a lockdown, evacuation or a dangerous
person on campus. The genius here is how she turned a familiar
story into a "training" to enhance the Alice Drill concepts which
makes a scary topic less scary. Our students and communities do
need to be prepared and this book is a great start to educating and
discussing these sensitive topics. I recommend this book as a read
aloud and a educational tool to start the school year.Jessica

I applaud Julia and the ALICE Training Institute for providing
education to our young students about potential school intruders
through I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! While it is a scary subject,
it's also a genuine threat, and students as well as staff deserve
preparation. I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! helps students envision
their reaction to an intruder prior to an incident. Because
students are accustomed to the step-by-step ways schools normally
function, it's important to show them that there is no singular
response to these dynamic events.Joey Melvin

Comprehensive School Safety Plan, Delaware Department of Safety and
